Dean Clough

Once home to Crossley Carpets, Dean Clough now thrives in a different way. Home to art galleries, bars, restaurants, cafés, offices, shops, a theatre, hairdressers and beauty salons, a gym, a karate dojo, a taxi rank and a hotel, this 22-acre site is a bustling hub of arts, creativity, business and leisure.

The arts are an integral part of Dean Clough – the contemporary arts programme runs across 6 galleries, with changing exhibitions throughout the year and both outside and along the corridors is the permanent Dean Clough Art Collection, with over 300 works of art amassed since the mid 1980s. Also on site is Fletchers Mill, the dedicated arts mill housing 25 artists and several arts organisations.

Discover the fascinating history of Dean Clough and the renowned Crossley Carpet empire with the Heritage Trail, explore the stunning works of the permanent art collection with the Art Trail or test your orienteering skills with the Family Trail – all free to collect from D Mill reception.

View the Dean Clough LEGO Model, a spectacular replica of the Dean Clough site built out of over 1 million bricks, or get lost in time with The Lost Workers, an original exhibition showcasing a collection of items once belonging to employees of Crossley Carpets – 1st floor, D Mill.

Parking is free after 5pm and all day on weekends and bank holidays.

Accessibility

Although Dean Clough consists of several Victorian mills located across a multi-levelled site we have put in many facilities to enable disabled access into the various mills, car parks and courtyards. The disabled entrances to the mills are highlighted on the site map.

There are also a number of parking spaces located around the site which allow for easy access into each mill and within the mills there are toilets suitable for wheelchair access.

However, as each mill is different we recommend that you contact our reception team who will be able to advise the best way of accessing where you want to go.
