Have you ever hankered after a museum that allows you to touch and try out its exhibits? Even trying on the olde fashioned clothes? Well the good news is there’s one in Stockport. It’s called Staircase House and is a warren of rooms and little corridors that take you through what seems like every century.

Inside this Aladdin’s cave you get to see how candles were made, wear old fashioned clothes and even get into the beds to see whether they’re comfy or not. And no I’m not telling you if they’re comfy, you’ll have to find out for yourselves.

You can write with your own quill pen and make a great inky and blotted mess. You can sit at the well laid dining table or go and potter in the bustling kitchen.

Like hats? There’s a variety of mop and Welsh hats to try on. Plus, as I said before old fashioned clothes to wear too.

Into Most Haunted? Well there’s good news for you. The house is meant to be haunted too. By the ghost of Robert Owten, a former butler to the Shallcross family.

The house also boasts a Jacobean staircase, apparently one of only 3 in the country.

Well worth a trip!
