The Open Days on 6th July and 3rd August will include print workshops run by Hot Bed Press, inspired by the work of Anne Desmet which is based on Victoria Baths and currently on show at Whitworth Art Gallery.

The workshops are suitable for adults and children, include demonstrations by experts and the opportunity for you to learn the basics of relief printing and monoprints. Everyone can walk away with their own original print. The workshops are free, thanks to funding from Arts Council England North West.

We will also open for National Heritage Open Days 2008, from 11am to 5pm when admission is free but we welcome donations:

Thursday 11th September

Friday 12th September

Saturday 13th September

Sunday 14th September

At Open Days at Victoria Baths there is full access to the three pool halls with viewing points into the Restoration site. Free guided tours run throughout the afternoon enabling you to learn something of the history of Victoria Baths and visit lesser known parts of the building including the boiler house, water treatment room and the undercroft of the pools. You don't need to book in advance for guided tours - just turn up and allow plenty of time for your visit.

Open Days also feature:

• Historical displays
• Update on the latest Restoration work
• Family friendly activities, such as a Children's trail
• Hot and cold refreshments
