Henshaws' visit to Manchester's famed Victoria Baths was named as one of the attraction's highlights of 2009.

Our Art Galleries and Museums Group visited the site, which was the winner of the BBC2 Restoration series, in September.  The group had a full tour with a touching and handling session, and audio description by Anne Hornsby.

The group were able to touch the Victorian tiles and stained glass.  They listened to the soundtrack of an old TV film about the Baths and local people’s reminiscences on CD and podcast. 

Volunteer Group Leader Mary Gifford said, "The people at the Baths were fantastically welcoming and were very pleased with the visit.  My Group raved about it!"

The group visit exhibitions and sites of interest across the North West on monthly visits.  If you would like more information about the group, please contact us on 0161 872 1234.
