Opening Hours

Victorian teacher with school group The Museum is open for Schools and Group bookings Monday to Friday (during term time).

We welcome other visitors between 10am and 5pm each Wednesday and Thursday, and between 2pm and 5pm on the first Sunday of each month. On the first Sunday of each month everyone can take part in our Open House activities. No booking is necessary for general visitors.

The Museum is typically closed from right before Christmas until the New Year; if you're interested in visiting around that time, please telephone us to see whether we are open on the day you wish to come.

Join us for our Summer Holiday activities in July and August!

Admission Costs

General admission to the Museum is free; charges apply for schools and group sessions. Additionally, if you'd like to attend the Victorian Lesson while you're here for the Sunday Open House, we suggest a £2 donation.
