I visited with my fiance. I'm originally from northwich but don't live here any more, and in my childhood I went to this museum a lot back when it was called The Salt Museum. sadly the giant tongue with the bar code reader that tells you how much salt is in certain food is gone, but there is still a really good interactive room and many interactive parts of the display. northwich has a rich history and it was truly captivating. the lady on the desk was really welcoming and friendly, and talked us through everything with enthusiasm. the little video for introduction was entertaining and well made. all in all its a great little museum. worth visiting the lion salt works afterwards however we didn't have time during this visit - although I went to them before they were refurbished.

4.5 based on 425 reviews
The Lion Salt Works is a restored historic open-pan salt making site, in the village of Marston, close to Northwich. The site lies adjacent to the Trent and Mersey Canal, close to Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse, and the historic Anderton Boat Lift. This £10.23 million project opened in June 2015 offering a fascinating journey through the life of the country's last open-pan salt making site. When exploring the site and its restored buildings, you will discover how the salt works operated and the impact of salt on mid-Cheshire's people, economy and landscape.

This attraction boasts a modern cafe/shop/ticket office. It contrasts nicely with the former working area, parts have been restored to show how the work took place. There are other parts that show the state of the place before restoration took place. There are interactive displays that show how salt was produced on the site. The history of salt in the area is told from before Roman times to modern days. The flooring can be uneven, so care is needed. The cafe is also worth a visit

Being an avid film fan, I visit most cinemas within a 30 mile radius and I have to say Odeon Barons Quay is my favourite. Lovely new facilities and such polite chatty staff, it really makes it a pleasurable experience even with children! ???? Shelby who works at Costa was very efficient on my latest visit and also went the extra mile when I'd realised I'd chosen the wrong panini, she had the right one delivered to me to my seat! My coffee was perfect and that's not easy when you want a 2shot, medium, decaf, coconut blah blah blah!????

The cafe was warm and welcoming on a cold wet day. The food was excellent and we wish we could have had cake but had no room after our main course. Definitely worth a visit.

This antiques centre is a super way to spend a couple of hours. A great choice of items for sale at competitive prices and very friendly staff. The Covid social distancing measures were excellent with easy to find sanitiser points and markings on the floor. The cafe is also worth a visit - the staff were really friendly and efficient, and my partner rated the mushroom soup as among the best he’s tasted. A highly recommended experience all round.
