A Day Trip to Macclesfield
Description:
This day trip features two different attractions included in your ticket price. Macclesfield is a small neighbouring town of Manchester. Your dedicated coach driver will transport you from Manchester to your first destination, Paradise Mill & Silk Museum.
The Silk Museum reveals Macclesfield’s 300-year story as a global centre for silk production, textiles and design. Discover the unique collection of machines and learn about the town’s rich industrial heritage. The Paradise Mill offer insights to all aspects of Mill life and silk production, from the beauty of the textiles, the social history and the global phenomenon of silk.
The coach will then depart The Silk Museum, heading to Jodrell Bank Observatory.
