The Museum is a fantastic source of information and inspiration on local history
and an ideal activity for tourists and school groups.

We hope to see you very soon. We aim to keep to the published opening schedule there could be times when it is not possible as volunteers are unavailable.

On 1st April 2022, the Museum changed its governance and is now Nidderdale Museum Society CIO  (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). It means that the Society is now a legal entity and there is reduced liability for the trustees.
