Testimonials

Really enjoyed our visit here. The spinning demonstration was excellent and we learned a lot. The kids enjoyed it too! Just to note you have to ask in the shop to get access to the museum part, we thought it was closed with the rope across but it wasn't. Definitely well worth a visit!
