Free parking. Went for David Hockney exhibition. Had a great day out. Lovely shops and cafe. Beyond all expectations. Plus free parking.
Plenty of free unlimited parking near Salts Mill. We left the car to walk around Saltaire as well
If you are an art lover this is a great way to spend a few hours, well stocked shop for art supplies and books if you are feeling inspired afterwards. Good service in the restaurant although our food didn't stay warm for long, even so, the whole experience is highly recommended.
Easy to direct to and find. Loads of free carparking. Well maintained tarmacked area. Some spaces near the plant features are a bit small. Short, flat walk to Salts Mill building
The car park is free with plenty of spaces. The walk from the car park to Salts Mill is approx 300m and is all on the flat so is accessible. The car park does close at 18.20 on an evening so this is something to bear in mind if visiting later in the day.
