Knutsford Heritage Centre is housed in a reconstucted 17th timber-framed building which was originally the town's blacksmiths. It is set amongst secluded courtyard gardens behind the bustling streets of Knutsford.
The Centre is most famously home to the Knutsford Millennium Tapestry, a 40ft 'masterpiece' which was created by over 3,000 members of the local community to celebrate Knutsford in the Millennium Year.
The Centre also houses a temporary exhibitions gallery with a range of displays throughout the year, a permanent display on the story of Knutsford and a well-stocked gift shop.
Throughout the year, a range of events and activities take place at the Centre. Highlight events include guided tours of Knutsford and a series of Saturday Lectures.
