The Whitworth is open
Tuesday to Sunday, 10am-5pm
As the current Covid restrictions begin to ease on Monday 19 July, the Whitworth has decided to continue social distancing for staff and visitors to the gallery. Additional safety measures will also remain in place, including monitoring our capacity and recommending face mask use (unless exempt) for the time being.
This decision has been made in consultation with our colleagues in leading visitor attractions across the city and following the visitor attractions association's best practice guidelines. We will continue to review these safety recommendations and adjust them as needed.

Great news! You no longer need to pre-book tickets to visit the Whitworth and can just turn up on the day.
Additional safety measures will also remain in place, including monitoring our capacity and recommending face mask use (unless exempt), for the time being. Hand sanitiser stations are located at the entrance and throughout the gallery and our toilets are all open for you to use.
