There's also a changing exhibition programme along with walks and talks, making it a good stop for anyone curious about the town's history. It's open 11am to 4pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. With Knutsford station just 0.2 miles away and 22 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's an easy and convenient addition to a visit to the town.
