Some of the exhibits are sometimes replaced with some new ones, which make the mesuem more fun and fascinating. Additionally, during every half term break there are a lot of themed attractions for children at any age such as trails, craft making and colouring. Highly recommended if you haven't visited it yet! · via Google [Maria Lysenko (My Bucket List At 60)](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116106159024314022866/reviews) ★★★★★ Small but so well curated. So many local stories told - pork pies, fox hunting traditions, cheese and brewing. Fascinating. · via Google [Zoe Bown](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108042327699807344694/reviews) ★★★★★ Went on a Wednesday, free admission. It's a small museum so would only spend up to an hour here. Nice exhibition of the towns history and a small shop to buy souvenirs if desired. · via Google [A K](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102453646654014980439/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely museum. There's distinct themes that are different to museums. There was a lot of pictures of horses which was nice. A few little bits for the kids to do. My main liking of this museum was its focus on community and belonging and adapting together to the changes around us · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4879d4186bc350e9:0x848f046393e776be!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this museum offers interesting artifacts and displays, focusing on local history and unique town facts.
