Whitchurch Silk Mill is an award-winning museum located in Hampshire on the picturesque banks of the River Test. Built in 1815, it is the oldest working Silk Mill in the UK still weaving silk in its original building.
As a living museum, Whitchurch Silk Mill brings to life the story of silk weaving through captivating museum interpretation and the opportunity to observe the silk textile-making process in person. Discover the magic of silk production, witness historic machinery in action, and explore the Mill’s rich history. A knowledgeable team of staff and volunteers are always on hand to enrich visitor experience, answering questions and providing deeper insights into the journey of silk.
Starting on Saturday (January 18), the Mill’s exhibition Powering Through: The Conservation of the Waterwheel, will provide visitors with intricate detail on the Mill’s iconic waterwheel, with information about its rich history and the lives of those devoted to its conservation and restoration.
