About

Trowbridge Museum, where you can weave through 1000 years of the town’s history. Discover how Trowbridge became the county town of Wiltshire, and was shaped by the industrial revolution and the scale of production of the high quality West of England woollen cloth.

Housed in a former woollen cloth mill, the grade II listed Home Mills, there are plenty of interactive exhibits for all ages to enjoy across two floors, a mouse hunt and a fantastic programme of events & workshops for all ages!

Visit our brand new second floor for stunning views across Trowbridge & Wiltshire and even more fantastic displays as well as our regularly updated Temporary Exhibition Gallery. 

Fantastic events and activities for all the family!
