Saffron Walden Museum & Castle Grounds

Saffron Walden Museum & Castle Grounds First opened in 1835. Like for events, news, exhibitions, activities and more! Saffron Walden Museum is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in the country.

Our family-friendly museum explores the archaeology, natural history and social history of north-west Essex and the wider world. With a packed programme of special exhibitions, events and activities throughout the year, as well as nine permanent galleries, there's always something to see and do! Set in quiet grounds next to the ruins of the twelfth-century Walden Castle, just minutes away from the

historic market town of Saffron Walden, the museum is the perfect place to explore our district. For more information about visiting, see you website www.saffronwaldenmuseum.org.uk
