Covid-19 Notice:

To keep our visitors and staff as safe as possible, we request that face masks are worn whilst in public areas of the venue.

Did you know we are a registered charity?

The Whitworth building is over 130 years old and as with many buildings of that age, it requires a lot of upkeep to keep it ready to welcome visitors all year round. Please help us in ensuring the building is here for the community to enjoy for years to come by donating to The Whitworth Trust.

All funds raised are reimbursed directly back into the maintenance of the park and building.
