Called in today for a quick visit with my dad who's in the early stages of dementia. Chap on the front counter was very friendly and helpful 👍 Museum is a hidden gem that I'd heard mentioned by Mark Felton and is definitely worth seeking out. Next time I'm in the neighbourhood I'll make certain to can in again as there's so much to see.

An absolute must-visit. I couldn't believe the size and scope of the collections - everything from the Anglo-Saxons up to present. Worth every penny. Had a lovely chat with the chap at the desk too.

This is a realy good museum with items that no other museums have in UK! It is a collection of 1 person who lives nearby the museum- he started collecting war items since he was 7 years old. What a collection!!! Highly recomended to visit. The volunters happily become tour guides for all visitors with loooots of interesting facts and stories! Just get postcode and trust me, you WILL find it! It was a bit a challenge to find it first time but just trust your satnav! It IS there!:)

A really nice place to visit - I highly recommend it. They have a huge collection of military, spy and civilian weapons and clothing, going back hundreds of years. The guns were primarily military, not civilian (none of the 11 that I have owned as a civilian in the UK). Everything is very well categorised and labelled. It isn't a large building - so not much walking 👍 but lots crammed into the space. One member is staff was fantastic - have a very good introduction to the museum and chatted with us a few times as we wondered around. He is very knowledgeable. We were there for about 2 hours and only saw about 20 other people! The only bad points were that the car park is very small (but I'm sure there is other car parking nearby). There isn't much to hold, but there is a lot to see! We got to hold 3 guns on the way out - all a member of staff for this. There was no heating - wrap up warm!

Visited today as part of an educational trip with the RAF Reserves. Absolutely fantastic array of military memorabilia from all three forces & abroad, dating from the mediaeval times to bang up-to-date. The best part has to be the Exhibition about the cockleshell heroes with the last surviving canoe used in the raid Very helpful staff who couldn’t have been more accommodating. Thanks again fellas and hope to see you again soon. 3PS RAF Reserves. 11/01/2026
