Admission Fees & Opening Times

We operate a small admission charge of £3 for adults.
Carers and accompanied children can visit Nidderdale Museum free of charge.

We regret that unaccompanied children are not allowed in the Museum,
as our stewards do not have the necessary safeguarding checks.

Over winter, the Museum is open 1.30-4.30p.m. Saturdays and Sundays only from November to end of March.
However, if you are travelling far it will be wise to check opening hours. 
It can happen that volunteers need to drop out at the last minute or the weather is bad!

Souvenir Shop

Souvenirs and gifts are available in the Museum shop. We also sell local history books and publications.
