Lovely museum which currently includes a gorgeous exhibition of rope sculptures running May-July 2026. I went to the exhibition private viewing so waiting times etc reviewed were based on that.

Lovely little museum, very family friendly and the staff are always really kind and helpful. Today the perosn doing the rope making stayed a little longer so our children could have a go. They loved the egg hunt too. Great value for money as you can go back as many times as you want with the ticket.

Absolutely stunning, lots to learn! They have a great support team to educate you with anything needed. Kl

Very cute museum, reasonably priced for a year ticket. There is a usually someone showing you how to make rope but this wasn’t available today. Enjoyed our experience and looking into Bridport’s history!

Super cute little museum, with an eclectic mix of local bits and bobs. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and very happy to explain things to excitable children (although there aren't many things children can touch and interact with, so very small ones may get bored). There's some fascinating displays on the local history of rope and net making and how Bridport contributed to the war effort in that respect, as well as bits on the local railways, and local hostorical figure Dr Roberts' "Poor Man's Friend" cure-all. Entry was cheap (a fiver per adult and free for children under 18, with the ticket allowing multiple entries over a year - I think- if desired). It's a small space, about the size of a house, so only takes an hour or so to have a really good look round. Ideal to hop out of the rain or heat for a little while without spending loads of money, while learning a little about the town.
