Talks and Speakers - Framework Knitters Museum

You can book a presentation to take place in the Chapel Art Gallery, which seats up to 60 people. We can arrange refreshments for your group and include a guided tour of the museum if you wish. Alternatively, our speaker can come to a venue of your choice within the East Midlands.

Our speakers charge a small fee for giving a talk, which is almost always donated back to the museum. So booking a presentation is another great way you can support us!

Talks arranged by the Friends

The Friends of the Framework Knitters Museum arrange regular talks by guest speakers in the Chapel.

The topics are usually around the museum's own history, local history and related subjects such as the Nottingham lace industry.

Ticket prices vary but light refreshments are normally included. Other activities such as raffles sometimes take place to help raise funds for the museum.

Second visit to this fascinating museum, a veritable storehouse of social history, staffed by knowledgeable, enthusiastic folk. Some steps may prove difficult for the elderly or infirm but there’s plenty to appreciate at ground level.

Living History

My sister and I loved this museum. Especially the guided tours explaining how the machines work and the working and living conditions of the frame knitters at the time. Even got the chance to take a look at Queen Victoria’s stockings in the former methodist church across the cottages. Excellent museum! Very entertaining and interesting

Terrific Museum

Excellent Museum!
