The Market House

the work never stops! The Grade II* listed Market House is about to undergo a huge revamp starting with a completely new ceiling before the old one falls down… Once that’s been done our plan is to separate it into three areas: one for conservation and storage of our textile and costume collection, one to accommodate school; groups and one for temporary seasonal exhibitions. For the latest updates check our Facebook and Instagram pages. 

Moving forward

Being closed for 2020 meant we could deal with severe damp problems in the building itself and, now we’ve nearly won that battle, we’ve repainted each room in a more contemporary style

…and we found some interesting things as we did so!
