A fabulous museum with a lot of stuff for the kids to do as well. Extremely interesting and informative. I learnt quite a lot about salt production. There's quite a nice little cafe area with good coffee, but the food selection was a little limited when I was there.

The Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse - A great old building that celebrates the various industries in Cheshire What is the Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse? The Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse is a museum that is located in Northwich, Cheshire. There is a partial workhouse with a museum that emphasises the different industries that played a key role in the lives of people that lived in Cheshire. This included salt making, coal mining, ship-yards, and the Police. This museum holds a number of temporary and permanent exhibitions that take place throughout the year. On the Ground Floor there is a small cinema for an introductory video, temporary exhibition space and the partial workhouse. On the top floor there is the different exhibitions about some of the important industries that played a significant role to the people of Cheshire. Exhibitions Visited All Our Stories This exhibition is an empowering one that highlights the challenges that people face whom have learning disabilities. This group of people held a play. This small exhibition is playful, interactive and engaging. The props on show were lovely and unique. They helped to tell the story. This consisted of Gruel which is old food that has oats. There was also a bowl and spoon. In addition there was a bell to determine the time. There was a dress up corner with a great variety of clothes and hats that you can wear and try on. The material was lovely but it was heavy at the same time. The Workhouse The introductory video in the cinema was good. It gave you a short insight into the lives of people that lived at the workhouse all those years ago. A partial one is still part of this building. It was great knowing that people were segregated based on sex, age and other factors. Learning about school life was interesting. It was cute seeing the letters of the alphabet and the times tables. It gave it a true school vibe. There was also a desk for the headteacher or teacher to stand behind with a old device for writing as pens and pencils were not used at that time. Permanent Exhibitions These exhibitions were informative and inspiring. They celebrated many industries that were significant to the people that lived in Cheshire. I loved how open plan it was where each small area had enough information that was not too much with great pictures that were eye catching. The range of objects relating to industries such as Salt making, Coal mining and the Police were enticing too. It was also great learning about working conditions and pay of the workers at that time. It was great that these industries were explained in different means including art, objects and videos which made the experience an engaging one. Entry and Admission You are not required to book online however you will be required to pay on arrival in order to enter the museum.

They serve Tea and Coffee with a selection of biscuits. If that is not your thing then there are some cafes nearby. Toilets are on site. Lighting and Access The lighting at this museum was decent throughout most areas apart from the small cinema room downstairs for the video. This allowed me to use all my senses to have a fulfilling experience which also helped to understand the themes and information discussed with the various objects. In relation to access then there is a small step in order to enter the building. There are stairs or a lift to access the exhibitions on the top floor. Parking The Weaver Hall and Workhouse has its own designated car park that also has disabled bays for those whom have a Blue Badge. If you love learning about the workhouse life and the different industries in an informative, interactive and engaging way then come and visit the Weaver Hall and Workhouse for a great day out.

Interesting historical installation allowing boats to pass between the River Weaver and canal. There's a good visitor centre with a cafe and interactive displays.

Easy, free parking, with a variety of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities within the new complex, as well as easy access to the rest of the town's offerings. River Park can be a quiet oasis alongside the River Weaver, whilst the two public spaces; Baron's Square and Weaver Point, host a variety of events throughout the year, including the very popular Northwich River Festival in July. The ODEON cinema has 5 screens.

First impression:- Clean and fresh feel, still like new. Comprehensive itinerary. Gym, pool, indoor sports, swimming and lots of classes. Plenty of variety for everyone. Plus a theatre on site too. Food and beverage eat in facilities available with a varied Menu which looked appealing. Car parking convenient and not too expensive.

Had an absolutely fabulous lunch, the food was amazing! We shared a hummus flatbread to start, it was huge and really tasty. Then had the small fish and chips, that really couldn't be called small! A friend had the pie and chips, that was absolutely delicious. The pie was enormous, with lovely thick juicy pieces of steak and gravy. I had a brownie sundae for dessert, it was really yummy and the chocolate brownie was amazing too! There was even a menu for dogs to have a dinner!! Can't wait to go back!

A⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came here as a party of 5 for my sisters birthday! First time but certainly not the last. The service provided from our waitress Gabby was fantastic, in addition we had Amy waiting on us too! Nothing was too much for trouble for them. Faultless meal, faultless service. Food was amazing. Will be back. Thank you for a fantastic and unforgettable night. Absolutely love my new glass too! Really nice touch.

Spot on food, spot on drinks and spot on service. We are moving to Hartford later this year and are so glad Chime will be a walk to our new house. Thank you for a brilliant evening tonight.

Great pub, really welcoming even though we turned up in shorts and sandals after a long bike ride. They recommended the local IPA, which was great. Food was really good and definitely value for money. The staff couldn't have been nicer.

First time going today for lunch. Arrived at the pub at 12.45pm didn't book but plenty of space in the car park. Waited 30 seconds to be seated inside. Clean and tidy in the pub itself with cheerful staff. Menu is full of delicious food. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
