Salts Mill

Fantastic venue on a rainy day.wonderful cafe but make sure you book.the art gallery is fascinating, amazing antique curios, superb quirky, unique design shop and a bookshop to rival the best.

Great place to walk around, so much history here. the story of how the mill has remained over the decades and who bought and kept it going. saltaire is a lovely place and we need to keep the heritage alive. even bradford with its amazing architecture.. its all free no tickets needed. salts mill car park is also free. which is an added bonus .

We’ve visited several times and always love it. spread over server all floors there’s something for everyone. beautiful books and artist materials on the ground floor. then up to a larger selection of books, art prints, antiques and more. the restaurant is great although we went on a bank holiday monday so i’d recommend booking in advance. we didn’t mind the wait (40 mins) for a table. we’ve visited so many times before and not normally had to wait. the food is absolutely lovely and it is worth it. there’s usually extra galleries on the very top floors that are worth a visit. ample free parking.

A beautifully preserved victorian mill building with a huge capacity. the main attraction is the world's largest david hockney art collection, which is creatively mixed in with victorian ceramics and artefacts from the mill, and spread over the ground and top floors. there are also exhibitions from other local artists, a room dedicated to the history of the mill, an impressive bookshop, a beautiful home store, a jewellery designer showroom, and an antiques emporium. plenty to keep you occupied for a while then! and when you start to flag, there's a choice of two excellent quality cafes, serving hot food and wine, as well as the usual coffee and cakes, and it's table service too. there are also loos on every floor. such a well organised space, and a well thought out visitor experience. loved it!

The mill is so imposing and very large, set over acres! the hockney exhibition and crafts in the mill hall we're also very interesting. we loved the industrial architecture. more fascinating ,for us, was the village of saltaire. the town hall is grand, the united reformed church unusual, and the victorian terraces very quaint. we were lucky to get chatting to a local great grandmother, proud to live there, and telling us local history (thanks betty!)
