What a lovely surprise for the whole family. Very well hidden on the Leeds University Campus, you really need to know it's there. Free entrance for this small but full of informations and displays museum. I was very impressed by the accessibility for special needs visitors. Sensory backpack available with fidgety toy, heardefenders, and much more. Free refreshments room. Lots to do and see with many interactive corners for adults and children. Loved the dress up section with authentic M&S vintage clothing. We will go back and tell family and friends of this amazing place

The archive was full of different items which were mostly donated...We spent about 45 mins looking around and to be fair, there was some interesting items on display ...It would have been nice to sit and have some refreshments available to enjoy..

It’s small, but there was so much to see and learn in every corner and on every panel. I enjoyed watching the ads from the 50s to 00s, and reading the stories of how M&S had been a part of people’s lives and cherished memories through the years. You could pick up a retro ad poster in the gift shop, and even the receipt is wonderfully nostalgic.

Very insightful look into the most famous Great British retailer. Beautifully presented, warm, light and comfortable museum/archive. And not to forget that it’s free entry. A little off piste but set in a peaceful area of the university campus. Highly interesting to also find out about the lives of some incredible people that have worked for the company over its many years in existence. Definitely worth the short walk from the city centre.

As someone who has worn Marks and Spencer clothes throughout my working life it was a great place to indulge myself in history...BUT..there was also a group of young kids who were enjoying joing in the activities and quizzes available so not just for nostalgic guests. It is FREE.
