Tours, Exhibitions and Experiences
The Mill Manager’s Pass gives you access to the complete Cromford Mills story exploring how Cromford Mills became the birthplace of the modern factory system. This pass includes a guided tour of the Mill Yard by one of our knowledgeable volunteers, an opportunity to go behind the scenes and ‘meet’ Sir Richard Arkwright himself via our award-winning 3D cinematic experience. In addition to your guided tour, your Mill Manager’s pass allows you access to our audio tour, taking you into Cromford Village to explore the history of mass production in the village built to house the Mill workers. This is an annual pass so if you’re short on time, pop back within 12 months and enjoy at your leisure.
