Always a great place to visit. All the exhibits are interesting and inform about the local area.
During term time there are usually 'treasure hunts' that are good for the children.
During the holidays they run craft, Lego, clay and story sessions that are very popular. (Use the website to book before they fill up.)
Great, small museum, but with a lot of information related to the area, it's social and industrial identity through the years. Plus a great café for lunch. It's a free entry museum, but you feel happy to leave a donation as it deserves support for the great collections on display.
It's a really great compact museum with a huge range of exhibits. Where else would you be able to see an F1 exhibit through a tableau about the Saxons? There's always free trail sheets for various ages of children and information boards they can read as well as adults and interactive exhibits. Also the cafe and shop are really nice.
