  • Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Every Autumn - This Year Between 26Th October and 3Rd November
    DerwentThe Valley The Valley that changed the World DISCOVERY DAYS 2013 26th October to 3rd November 9 days of events & activities 1 There’s so much to see and enjoy during the Discovery Days Festival held in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site every autumn - this year between 26th October and 3rd November. Experience a charming blend of breathtaking natural scenery, fascinating industrial heritage and pure spectacle and fun in the Derwent Valley. Designated as a World Heritage Site in 2001, the Derwent Valley Mills have been described as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It was here in the Derwent Valley that the essential ingredients of factory production were successfully combined. Water power was applied and successfully used for the first time on a relatively large scale. Not only was textile production revolutionised with dramatic consequences for the British economy, the Arkwright model also informed and inspired developments in other industries. Each mill has its own story to tell. Theirs is the story of pioneering engineers and entrepreneurs who put Britain on the map and set off a chain of events which ushered in the Industrial Revolution. The mills and the industrial settlements around them, the churches, millponds, weirs and watercourses provide the perfect backdrop for a week full of discovery. Booking: To ensure a place at events please pre-book on 01629 536831 - 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (unless otherwise stated) Or Email: [email protected] Some activities within this booklet need to be booked directly with the organisers and the booking information is given within that specific listing.
