Event Details
Do you have any carpet factory memories? Dalkeith Museum is staging a small exhibition of carpet factory memorabilia during March, April and May. If you have any artefacts, and would like to let others see them, please bring them along so we can display them with the material from the Museum collection.
The Museum is open daily Tuesday – Friday and the first Saturday of every month from 10.00 am until 3.00 pm until 2nd April, when Summer opening begins and the Museum will be open until 4.00 pm.
Even if you do not have any carpet factory connections – why not come along and learn about Dalkeith’s rich industrial and cultural past. The Museum is located at the rear of the Corn Exchange and entry is at 61 St Andrew Street EH22 1BP
