Well worth your £2 entry. Lovely local people running this little museum. Quite a lot of local based history and information about some of the villages in the neighbourhood. Various information boards, and a surprising amount of interactive stuff which was nice. Two main rooms that are well laid out, and a small "olden days" display in the window. Was surprised that we spent over 2 hours in there, probably could've spent longer if we read everything. Obviously not going to be much fun for younger people, but interesting for adults, in my opinion.

Small but excellent local history museum. The displays are very well designed and engaging. I had no idea how interesting a place Ashby is, but now I do!

What a pleasant surprise: Ashby museum. A hidden gem. Geographically small but curated by people who truly love history in all its aspects. I was tipped off by a friend who is a history lecturer and went to a talk there which was excellent; and then we had time to take in the museum. If you want to know about where we are living (the displays and information go right back to prehistory) and you are interested in fascinating people from our local past: you cannot find anything better than this. It was set up on Lottery funding and runs on donations and volunteers, so do consider donating: it would be a crime to lose this wonderful museum.
