Called into the Beck Isle Museum whilst of holiday in Pickering. Very well run, with enthusiastic volunteers working on site. Dave who works in the printers shop is a wealth of knowledge. The old pub & barbers shops were also great. There is loads to see & its surprising just how much is on site. Certainly worth the admission price & the ticket is valid for return visits for a whole year.

A brilliant day out. It feels like stepping back in time, and you can feel the rich heritage throughout the site. What stood out most was the enthusiasm and knowledge of the staff and volunteers, who go above and beyond to engage with visitors and bring history to life. I found the experience fascinating and came away having learned a great deal.

What a brilliant museum, so many varied interesting displays and the staff were all so knowledgeable & helpful. We particularly enjoyed the Printing Room & Photography Exhibition. A truly fantastic experience. Would recommend a visit.

Amazing history of the area. The collections were varied, eclectic and well curated. Astonished at the size of the courtyard exhibits, as if the main building wasn't fantastic enough. Very friendly lady who gave us almost a guided tour and made a discovery inside a cupboard adjacent to the small kitchen range. Our tickets were excellent value at £8 each and entitled us to visit again within 12 months.

A rare Saturday off meant I was lucky enough to have time to explore Beck Isle Museum, Pickering, a museum I've not visited before. What a lovely place! A stunning location, a very reasonable entry fee and a cheerful greeting set me up for the rest of the visit. With heaps of local and social history, Beck Isle is a true treasure trove of artefacts including a chemist's shop, confectioners, a barbers, lots of toys and military items. I was particularly interested in the costumes/clothing, fans, umbrellas and parasols on show. Of course, I'm now getting the age when I actually owned or used some of the items now 'on show' in the glass cases! Your ticket fee entitles you to return visits within the year, so I'm hoping I can return sometime soon. Great for the kids and fantastic for adults. It's a fabulous place so well done to all concerned.
