Hat Works
My eldest daughter aged 7 decided she would like to be a Milner so this was a must for us but the whole family enjoyed it (1, 3 ,5, 7 and mid 20's ) the place is immaculate, staff were friendly and its fully wheelchair accessible. There is a great deal of fun to be had for the children from making hats, dressing up and playing with materials. They have an impressive display of hats and machinery! It was free (tours are £5 per adult, kids free) but donations are most welcome and worth it, I would highly recommend this museum

The exhibits at Hat Works are thoughtfully curated and interactive. They allow visitors to explore the evolution of hat-making techniques, materials, and styles. From vintage hats to contemporary designs, each exhibit offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of millinery.

I was very impressed with this place. Meant to go in numerous times and never quite made it. Ventured in on Saturday after the Makers Market and not dissapointed. Entry is free but I paid a fiver for the tour that I got all to myself. Highly recommend this!Sue was a great guide! Having a strong family connection to the industry made the information really personable and come alive.If you come to look around its still amazing but you may miss some of the inside interesting stories.Lovely gift shop too and loads of courses and workshops. Brilliant place and really makes you look at stockport and it's history as you walk around it today.

The place is not very busy. You can see there all process off the hats. Not much to do for kids. In my opinion place just for one visit.

Don't be fooled... It's free to visit!! (It's only £5 if you want a tour)Me & wife and 1 year old had a great time exploreing the place.It's got 3 floors, top floor is nothing. Middle floor is 100' of hats to see over the years, and a great area to try on funny hats! + Kids play area.Bottom floor is for the older generation with all the machines showing you how they made them. Very interesting.

Brilliant tour ( you need to book, £6, 2 a day). Loved finding out about Stockport's past history of hat making. Sue led it: knew everything! Look forward to actual hat exhibition to reopen ? Next March

A mid sized regional museum on the History of Hat making in Stockport, housed at a former hat factory. The Museum comprises a one floor hat collection and a larger floor of exhibits on hat making process and machinery. Exhibits are a little low budget, but the history is fascinating. Tours are on offer for a fee, but entrance is free on a donation basis. Good for passing an hour or too although a little low budget. Photos from The Hat collection is not shown at the request of the museum due to copyright issues.
