Towneley Hall

Towneley Hall is a historic house in Burnley that was home to the Towneley family for over 600 years before becoming a museum and art gallery in 1903. Wandering round, you'll find permanent collections spanning fine art, ancient Egypt, local history and wildlife, alongside rooms that still feel touched by the family who once lived there. The Hall also runs a changing programme of contemporary exhibitions and events, from photography installations to seasonal needle felt workshops, making it a good choice for history lovers, art fans and families alike. It's a Museums & Galleries attraction in Burnley, with Burnley Manchester Road station 1.3 miles away, and 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you fancy making a longer visit of it.
