Seasons End

As we close our doors to the public for the last time for this season, we wanted to thank you to all of the wonderful visitors, some of whom became valued friends, that we have had through our doors. Your stories, knowledge and feedback has been gratefully appreciated. We could not have done this without the support from the wider and local communities or without the various organisations that have helped us along the way, so again, we thank you all.

If you haven't had a chance to explore our museum, then do not worry! We will be running events throughout the winter months in conjunction with various organisations. For more details on this, please keep an eye on this page.

Furthermore, the open dates for the next season are yet to be finalised, once they are, you will hear them from here!

Thank you all again for your support and engagement. We will see you in the next opening season!

See you again soon,
