Click HERE to see our Coronavirus Risk Assessment Rules for limited entry
We are now Open from Wednesdays to Saturdays (closed Sundays to Tuesdays) for six hours between 10 am and 4 pm. Entry will be limited to only six people or a bubble, and we must still ask visitors to sanitise hands, register with the QR code or leave contact details, and wear masks.
Also a family or classroom bubble are welcome to book a special time in order to have a 'private viewing' of all our exhibits and to meet a volunteer to answer any questions they may have. See our Contact Info page HERE.
Thank you for your understanding. We hope that current restrictions will be lifted soon when our doors will once again be open to any number of visitors.
