Venue

From the world's first industrial city to 24-hour party capital, MOSI takes you on a journey through Manchester's heritage with sights, sounds and even smells! You can see what it was like to work in a cotton mill during one of our textile demonstrations, see one of the world's largest collections of working steam mill engines or even venture into a Victorian sewer. You can watch a show or you can take one of our walking tours.

Our exhibits include:

Chillerton Down and the land around Gatcombe village is a beautiful area of downland, farmed and wooded valleys hidden away in the middle of the Isle of Wight.

It is partly owned by the National Trust and partly protected by National Trust covenants to preserve the beauty of the landscape.

While many people head for the beautiful and dramatic coast you can include this area in some lovely walks particularly between Newport and Shorwell.
