Silk Museum

Follow the journey of silk making, from cocoon to loom at The Silk Museum. As well as the stunning displays of silk items, there is a fascinating programme of events and exhibitions to enjoy. Explore our displays of marvellous industrial textile machinery and collections of textiles and fabric designs. Find out how our remarkable Ancient Egypt collections came to Macclesfield. Enjoy a cup of freshly ground coffee in our tea room and browse around our beautiful shop, brimming with a unique range of jewellery, silk scarves and inspiring gifts. Paradise Mill is situated next door to the Silk Museum building. Step back into the 1930s with a guided tour; see restored Jacquard looms and machinery, and watch as they weave their magic! Find us at the foot of Mill Street on Park Lane, 5 mins from the mainline train station. We are also open on Treacle Market Sundays when the famous artisan market takes place in Macclesfield.
