Venue Description

The Cottage Museum is an immersive and hands-on experience. Wear your 18th-century hat and sit in the old chairs, peep inside coffers, have a go on a spinning whorl and practise your cursive handwriting.

Accessibility

Physical accessibility at the Cottage is very limited. There are a number of historic features which impede physical access for all. This includes small, tight staircases, dark areas, and uneven floors. The cottage itself is located on Castle Hill, meaning that individuals wishing to visit the museum will have to walk up the steep, cobbled hill to reach us. We have no toilets (or even running water!) at the Cottage. The Cottage Museum has an audio guide for visitors to listen to whilst exploring the space. There are a number of QR codes around the museum that link to different sections of the audio guide.
