A great little museum full of interesting exhibitions. Plenty of interactive opportunities for little ones too, from objects they can handle to colouring-in tables and toys. We visited during the ‘World’s Worst Album Covers’ exhibition and really enjoyed it - such an innovative idea for an exhibition, and really engaging!

This is a lovely little museum, crammed full of local history. Very friendly and helpful staff, and thoughtful, often interactive exhibits. We went specifically for the display of terrible album covers, which was a joy. I laughed until I was sore.

Nice little museum about the history of Alnwick. Includes permanent exhibitions and a temporary exhibition area on the first floor. The building is beautiful and includes the church organ and stained glass. The staff on reception were friendly and helpful, £6 for entry which is fine, about a 45 minute visit.

We visited with my one year old, 5 year old and a set of grandparents - there was something for everyone! The permanent exhibits downstairs are largely interactive which my 5 yo loved, and there were well placed jigsaws and bits my 1 year old could access too. I learnt a lot, my parents enjoyed reminiscing and we enjoyed searching for the knitted mice that they have as a challenge at the moment too! Upstairs is current an exhibition about childhood and it was wonderful! Beautiful story telling chair, books to read, wooden train track to play with and lots of dressing up. There were little role plays to play in (A camp fire, measuring babies etc) and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the accounts of children who were evacuated to Alnwick during the second world war. We spent over an hour here, it was great value for money and accessible for my mum who has a walking stick.

Interesting little museum based in a beautiful old church building. It was a good way to while away an hour or so whilst it was raining. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of local history.

We visited the museum today for the first time, although we live in the area. I wanted to see the Susan Bowray exhibition, which was held in the upper gallery. It was worth seeing, I came away inspired. The rest of the museum is small. It does have information boards about local history and looks brilliant for kids, who are able to dress up in the Victorian school room. We enjoyed our visit, but felt the £6 entrance fee per person was too high for what was there.
