Winter Opening times
1 November – 31 March
Saturdays and Sundays only
1.30pm to 4.30pm
We hope to open each week apart from 17/18 and 24/25 December, unless bad weather intervenes!
We look forward to seeing you.
As we are completely reliant on volunteers, there could be last-minute changes, but we will do our best to open as stated.
The Charter Trail, celebrating the 700th anniversary of Pateley’s Market Charter is still on display, taking you through the Museum. See News. The Museum is operated entirely by volunteers who are passionate about Nidderdale’s heritage, so why not come along and see what is here? Cost per adult is £3 and accompanied children are free. We hope to see you very soon.
We have 11 separate rooms devoted to Leisure, Agriculture, Industry, Religion, Transport, Costume, plus an original Cobblers Shop, a Victorian Parlour room set, General Store, Schoolroom and much more. There is a wide range of displays of items in use in Nidderdale over the past 150 years, and a video telling the story of the building of the reservoirs in the Dale, running continuously in the Film Room. The Museum is a fantastic source of information and inspiration on local history and an ideal activity for tourists and school groups.
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.
You can now support the Museum by making a donation online using this button. Nidderdale Museum Society CIO is registered charity number 1197116.
