Set in a Victorian mill-owner’s house, Bankfield Museum has a growing reputation as a centre for textiles and contemporary craft. With its internationally important collection of textiles, weird and wonderful objects from around the world, plus commissions by leading makers and a varied programme of exhibitions and activities, there is much to see and enjoy.

Bankfield Museum is one of the sponsors who made the book on Charles Horner possible. Its staff co-operated closely in the oral history research and loaned Charles Horner archival material, including products. The museum has recently completed a display of selected Charles Horner artefacts, and hopes to extend the exhibit. The museum shop will be selling the Book Charles Horner of Halifax from May.
