During the day the Mill will in production and the museum open telling the story of the industrial revolution and the history of the Fox family and fabric produced at the mill – and its extraordinary life-saving links to the first world war.

For children there will be the popular have-a-go sessions where the volunteers will share the delight of knitting, weaving and other crafts highlighting the versatility of wool. There is also an outdoor picnic and play area to enjoy.
