Armchair Walks around Old Poynton

lord vernon chest

You will enjoy a sedate stroll from the luxury of a cinema chair, allowing you to go back in time and view the streets of old Poynton as you have never seen it before. Roy Dudley (local historian and one of the Museum’s Trustees) will be giving an explanatory talk allowing people to understand the richness of the scenes before them.

Normal admission prices apply, no additional charge for Armchair Walk.
