We're excited to announce that we have a new exhibition, 'It's a Small World' The exhibition will take a closer look at models and model makers. From steam engines, fairground rides and dolls houses created from scratch to the ever popular model making kits such as meccano and lego, this exhibition invites you to explore a world of creativity.

Grab your tickets and travel back in time for a fun day out at the museum! Explore 'old' shops, play traditional games, follow our bug trail, dress up and get creative with our craft activities. Pay once and visit free for the year! Dogs welcome.
