Knutsford Heritage Centre is set in the heart of Knutsford in a reconstructed 17th century timber fr The centre is open throughout the year.

Knutsford Heritage Centre is housed in a reconstructed 17th century timber framed building previously known as Musgrave’s Yard. Evidence of its previous existence as a tinsmith, ironmonger and brazier is clear, with a forge, anvil and an original set of bellows now preserved and all on display. Once no longer viable as an ironmonger’s, the site had sadly been left to ruin over the years but in 1988, The Groundwork Trust invested £100,000 to renovate and develop the area into what is now The Heritage Centre. Working as an independent charity, The Heritage Centre continues to grow and develop, always aiming to ‘protect, present and promote Knutsford’s rich and diverse heritage for the benefit of its residents and visitors.’

Admission to the Centre is FREE but we welcome donations.

Why not visit us this half-term and help with our Bayeux Tapestry colour in roll. It may not be 70 metres long, but it is pretty long so we need lots of experts with felt tips and coloured pencils.
There will also be Halloween Crafts and don't forget we are part of the Pumpkin Path on Friday night.
