What visitors say
I popped in a few weeks back, I was stunned to see how much this museum has to offer, the exhibitions were full of amazing pieces, and it was free to enter (apart from titanic exhibition) I can’t recommend this place enough to people who want a fun day out and an experience that you won’t forget

"I must block out all the rest of the world, and look only at you." What a magical night at the Jane Austen Ball in Maidstone! Wearing a gown stitched with my own hands made every single dance feel utterly unforgettable. My deepest gratitude to my wonderful husband, who stepped in at the last moment to be the most perfect, dashing gentleman by my side. My heart is completely full, and I will be living in this Regency dream for weeks to come! ✨💚

Looks small on the outside, bit like the tardis. With a fascinating variety of exhibits from dinosaurs to armour and coat of arms.
