Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- Most visits take around an hour to explore the collection of agricultural tools, machinery, and historic buildings including the 14th-century barn and 19th-century oast house.
- Will it work if the weather is poor?
- Yes, the museum includes indoor spaces in the barn and oast house, so it works well as a rainy-day activity even if you can't spend as much time outdoors.
- Which ages would enjoy it most?
- The museum suits children from babies through to teenagers, with displays of wagons, tractors, farming tools and a WW2 exhibition that appeal to different interests across age groups.
- Can we eat there, or should we bring food?
- We haven't confirmed a café at the museum, so you may want to bring a picnic or plan to eat elsewhere.
- Is there parking, and is it easy to get around with young children?
- Parking is available on site. We haven't confirmed whether buggies are easily managed through the buildings, so it's worth contacting the museum before your visit if you need to bring a pushchair.
- Do we need to book ahead?
- The museum is open on weekend afternoons during the summer season; contact them to check current opening dates and whether booking is needed for your visit.
