Bailiffgate is an award-winning people's museum where fascinating stories of the past are told about Alnwick and District. Housed in a beautiful Grade II listed former church in the town's Castle Quarter, close to Alnwick Castle and Gardens, two floors display permanent collections of artefacts, documents, photographs and audio visual content covering 10,000 years of history. The third Gallery floor features changing exhibitions throughout the year and events for the whole family. The museum offers a mouse hunt for younger children, Museum Detectives for older ones, and a range of participative activities. Free loans boxes are available for schools and home educators. The museum is run by a friendly team of volunteers and has full wheelchair/pushchair access with a lift to all floors.
