Sorry, we are closed to visitors until October 2026
The Saltaire Collection is looked after by a dedicated team of part-time volunteers. We have a lot to do in 2026 to care for the items we already have and to prepare for moving to a new building. To allow us the time to do that, we have decided temporarily to close to visitors.
So if you would like to visit, please get in touch later in 2026.
You can view details about our items using our online catalogue. And we will still be doing our best to answer your queries so please do contact us.
Amenities in the village
There is a small block of public toilets in the car park at the junction of Victoria Road and Caroline Street. For SatNav use postcode BD18 3LF.
If you are planning to visit the art, shopping and dining attractions in Salts Mill then there are several toilets available. Please note that Salts Mill is not normally open on Monday and Tuesday.
The small cafés and sandwich shops in Saltaire will not usually allow use of their toilet facilities unless you are a customer.
There are many cafes, sandwich shops, grocers and small supermarkets in or close to Saltaire.
In the main part of the village, Salts Mill contains two large cafes/restaurants. Smaller cafes and outlets are on Victoria Road between the Mill and Victoria Hall. Salts Mill and the small cafes on Victoria Road are normally closed on Monday and Tuesday.
Many other shops are located at the top of Saltaire on Bingley Road. To find these:
- Walk up Victoria Road.
- Use the Pelican crossing to cross Saltaire Road.
- Continue up Victoria Road past the Hospital and Almshouses to the top.
- Turn right onto Bingley Road to find rows of shops on both sides of the road including several cafes, sandwich shops, bars and a small supermarket.
At the moment, facilities for groups are not great…
Unfortunately, the Saltaire Collection does not have any spaces suitable for large group visits.
The Saltaire United Reformed Church has provided facilities for groups, especially schools. Please contact the Church directly to check on availability.
Salts Mill has provided tours and facilities for school visits, but these may not be available at the moment. You should contact Salts Mill before visiting to find out if this is possible.
On a nice day, there is always the magnificent Roberts Park just the other side of the canal and river, and a great spot for a picnic. There’s big green spaces, a small cafe, a playground but no toilets!
