Towneley Hall Museum & Art Gallery
Towneley Park, Burnley, BB11 3RQ · Blackburn & Burnley
Towneley Hall is a 600-year-old manor house turned museum, free for all under-17s, sitting inside a vast 400-acre park with a play area. The hall's collections cover Egyptology, fine art, local history and natural history, and the galleries have changed little since the last Towneley family member left. Even on days without events there's plenty for curious kids to explore inside and endless space to run around outside.
