Farfield Mill

Farfield Mill is art craft & heritage gallery set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Housed in a former Victorian Woollen Mill, there are heritage displays, beautiful gallery spaces, artists’ studios, power looms and handlooms. Our heritage displays tell the story of textile production in the local area from hand processes to the industrialisation in the local mills. You can also read about the mill workers and mill owners of Farfield Mill. Included within our exhibition is a 300-year-old Witney blanket loom. On the ground floor you can see the warp mill used for preparing warp for our Dobcross loom was built in 1936 by Hutchinson & Hollingworth of Diggle, Saddleworth, Yorkshire who were one of the makers of the Dobcross loom between 1861-1970. Our Tea Room is next to the river with outdoor seating area with shelter if the weather is not fair. We served delicious homemade light lunches and fabulous cakes. Our Craft Gallery stocks a wide range of handcrafted items from local and regional artists and makers. It is a perfect place to find unique gifts and original pieces. The Mill shop stocks quirky and interesting things to treat yourself or others: handcrafted jewellery, leather items, metal work, wood turning, ceramics, glassware, and a range of textiles. All our exhibition spaces show a changing programme of exhibitions. Being an old textile mill many of these exhibitions focus on textile art, but we also exhibit local and regional artists including work from our own Farfield Resident Artists.
