Quirky. Different. Special. Words often used to describe this fascinating Derbyshire market town. Whether here for the day or perhaps staying a little longer, we welcome you to spend some time with us at the Wirksworth Heritage Centre to find out about the history of the town and its people.
The ground floor (FOC) has a reception, shop and cafe.
The reception/shop serves as the local tourist information with leaflets,local maps and books. The shop stocks locally made gifts, cards, gins and ales.
Relax in our air conditioned Webster’s Café, with outdoor and indoor seating. Enjoy our extensive menu including a number of gluten free and vegetarian options, takeaway also avaliable. From just a coffee and a home made scone to a lovely lunch with a glass of wine, our cafe is the perfect place.
Our award winning museum (small charge) contains 4 beautifully presented galleries.Static displays are complimented with interactive screens, games and the ‘Dream Cave’. It is very child friendly and lifts are available to all floors.
