Mid Wales Off Road

Reviewed By maccsp - London, United Kingdom

From the call to book our slot, through to the safety briefing, the test runs and on to the track, the experience was both fun and exciting. Andrew has a welcoming way and a lovely sense of humour. My 10 year old nephew had the most brilliant time and I have to admit, so did his aunties. The first place trophy went to our nephew who was over the moon - a lovely memory created. Thanks Andrew. Would go visit again and would recommend it.

Newtown Textile Museum

Museum is now closed for the winter but will reopen on 25 May. depending, of course, on the regulations at the time. When opening is possible we will continue to offer visitors the opportunity to book timed-entry visits, as well as being able to come in without pre-booking if the numbers in the Museum at the time permit it. Bookings are now available on Eventbrite. As you would expect, safe-distance requirements and all the other Covid-safe measures will be in place. The Museum gives a great insight into the woollen industry, its boom and bust cycles and the effect on the development and growth of Newtown during the 1800s. It covers the story of wool from fleece to flannel, and tells the story of the families who lived and worked in this rare building from that period. It opens during the summer months.

A really interesting building, which has much improved since being taken over from the local council. Every room was informative, with displays and artefacts, and the volunteer staff were friendly and happy to answer questions. A pity that some of the more interactive activities were not available, due to the Covid restrictions, but that cannot be helped in the current circumstances, and it didn't spoil our visit. Well worth a visit!!

I’ve visited this gallery dozens of times. There is always something new to look at. Sometimes I “don’t get it” other times I leave stimulated. Some high quality gifts and jewellery for sale plus a wonderful cafe full of homemade produce. I try to visit every time I’m in Newtown.
