Museum of the Manchester Regiment

Open: Monday to Saturday, 10.00am - 4.00pm. Free Admission

Welcome

Welcome to the Museum of the Manchester Regiment. The Museum tells the story of generations of Manchester Regiment soldiers through two hundred years of service from 1756 until 1958.

The museum tells their unique stories through the objects they left behind. There are thousands of objects on display in the museum from the uniform, equipment and weaponry they used to the souvenirs they collected and medals they won all over the world.

"My dad passed away last Friday and I wanted you to know that his visit was the highlight of his last Christmas with us. I would just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the interest you showed him."

Planning a Visit

Why not visit the museum of the Manchester Regiment in Ashton-under-Lyne's impressive Victorian town hall. The museum is in easy walking distance of both the bus and railway stations and there is ample public parking in the town centre also.

If you are a wheelchair user or have a buggy there is access to all the museums's galleries by use of a lift from the ground floor where there are also baby-changing facilities. The museum also has a small shop from where you can buy a souvenir when the museum is open (only available until 1pm on Saturdays). While the museum does not have a café there are many places to find refreshments near to the museum.

There are lots of activities in the museum for you and your family and friends to try as well as thousands of objects that reflect the experiences of Manchester Regiment soldiers through the ages for you to look at and enjoy.

Please be aware that the curator works at many sites and may not be available at the Museum if you visit without an appointment to speak with him.

Facilities:

• Full access for visitors with disabilities
• Publications and souvenirs for sale
• Baby changing
• Near by car park
• Refreshments available nearby
• Historic market outside the Museum

Suggestions

We are always looking for ways to improve the website.  If you have any constructive ideas or suggestions as to other facilities that could be developed for inclusion on the website, please contact the curator.
