Really enjoyable day at the Northwest Computer Museum. It was great to see all the old 70s and 80s computers/ gaming machines. Most of them switched on and available for you to use. Plenty of software to explore. Friendly staff who "leave you alone" but are available for questions or to help if needed. A great nostalgic trip back to my childhood. Thoroughly recommend a visit

A fascinating place. So wonderful this grand historical piece of architecture is being put to good use. The small cinema is an excellent and much needed resource.

I visited in Oct 2023 mainly for the Computer Museum which was fabulous. We must have been in there three hours. They have a great collection of PC's going back through the years and a retro Video Game Arcade.
This is a huge complex that can be a bit of a rabbit warren inside. Maybe meeter's and greeters could assist at the entrance. Signage could be better really to guide you around. One thing you need to know when visiting is when all the different business are actually open. Several were closed when we were there even the café and sadly the Steam Engine room. There is a myriad of activities on site that will tempt you to come back I certainly will.

Really nice heritage centre and impressive mill engine. The North West Computer Museum is really good and worth a visit. There is a maze of corridors and signage needs improvement,some areas need improvement.

The Cinema on the fourth floor is well worth the visit. Like going back in time. A lot of the refit done by Kevin . Great carpenter who makes bespoke one of furniture.

Popped into the visitors centre and was blown away by the displays and the giant wheel that used to power the mill. The guides were well versed in the buildings history. Had a look around the rest of the mill, and there's a lot going on in the building. Will definately be back.

Me and the misses called in today on our way to one of the other units at the mill. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and even happily discussed amendments with me as I'm a picky eater.
The food arrived quickly and was hot and delicious. There is plenty of seating, it was very clean, the location is very central within the mill, and the prices are excellent.
I spotted a previous review here stating it wasn't well sign posted, I suspect they have worked on this since then as it was very easy to find when we went.
No complaints whatsoever, I'll definitely be calling back in. Cheers.

North West computer museum is on the 4th floor. A real must for anyone interested in computer and gaming history. £2.00 for a cappuccino and a bag of walkers crisps, best value ever. My grandson is in his element 💙

Visited on a Monday afternoon, mostly closed, lift out of order. There may be some good things there, but I didn't see them and I visited 4 floors. Not sure all the plans and ideas are in place yet.

Very interesting, Heritage floor is well worth a visit, fantastic that the original Mill engine is still in situ, the volunteers are positive it will run again in the future. Other machinery on show with a wool loom being rebuilt. Excellent knowledge from the volunteers and guides

Fabulous place. So many different classes and events to enjoy. Cafe, heritage centre yoga and gym are particularly fantastic. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask if you want to be a part of the community or even just to visit.

Leigh Spinners have a Huge range of the UK's finest artificial grass complete with free samples service. The artificial grass specialists. Make gardening simple with artificial grass. The Leigh Spinners Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in arenas for sports that were originally or are normally played on grass. However, it is now being used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well. We love the Leigh Spinner artificial grass and think it’s the best in the uk
