Open until 2.30pm on weekdays and 3.30pm at weekends and during school holidays. 

Vintage Tea Tent

Running on weekends and school holidays, our seasonal vintage tea tent offers a great spot on the museum floor for a well-earned break.  There's ample room for children to play or relax on our indoor lawn whilst you enjoy our selection of cakes, snacks and hot and cold drinks.  

Picnics

Whilst Café tables are reserved for customers purchasing food and drink on site, there’s also a limited number of outdoor picnic benches available for those bringing their own food. 

Due to the nature of our exhibits, we have no indoor picnic area. Please help us protect our collections by eating and drinking in designated areas only.
