IN the first extension at the museum, after the main galleries, you will find The Cheese Room, a permanent exhibition featuring the cheese-making industry of South Cheshire.

   There are artefacts from local cheese-making, accompanied by photographs of the work, together with photographs of local personalities.

   A video, controlled by visitors, tells the story of cheese-making. 

l Above The Cheese Room is the useful Joseph Heler Room, which can be used for meetings. (See the Hire a Room page.)
