Celebrating Gawthorpe Textiles Collection 1 Year at Northlight

Nestled in the heart of our vibrant Burnley community, the Gawthorpe Textiles Collection has brought something truly special to the Northlight estate. Known for its rich heritage and globally significant textile archive, the collection doesn’t just preserve history – it inspires creativity across generations.

Since their move, the team has continued to curate beautiful exhibitions, host educational events, and collaborate with local creatives. Their presence has added a whole new dimension to the Northlight business community – blending culture, craftsmanship, and innovation in a way that’s completely unique.

We’re proud to provide a home where organisations like Gawthorpe Textiles Collection can flourish alongside other forward-thinking businesses. It’s exactly what Northlight was built for: a space where ideas thrive, communities connect, and inspiration is never far away.

To mark their first anniversary with us, we’re taking a look back at their opening event – a wonderful celebration featuring special guests Chairman Lord Charles Shuttleworth and Amanda Parker, Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire. You can catch the highlights in the video below.
