Wonderful gem. A well curated folk museum with lots of interlocks artefacts.
Really enjoyed the visit to this Museum, learned and saw so many interesting things. I advise anyone visiting to donate to the Museum so it can be kept open.
A delightful community museum. I attended on a day they held a Saxon event, featuring an Axehead from Waltham Abbey. Costumed volunteers and staff were a delight to talk go
I came to the Tiger who came to Tea exhibition with an under 2 and a 5 year old. There was lots to entertain them not just in the exhibit but around the rest of the museum. We particularly loved the torches/binoculars for the children to help them investigate artefacts!
This museum was advertised as telling the story of the people of the Epping Forest District, so we did think it might be a bit too much for our two small people - thankfully we didn't need to worry! Yes there is some stories and history of the area, but rather randomly there is other stuff like the current exhibition on mummified animals. For the kids, there are a few activities, and the opportunity to grab a torch and magnifying glass (and an adventure waistcoat) and look round the museum. The museum feels fairly laid back, which again is useful when your brining kids to visit! We all enjoyed the museum and spent more time than we originally expected - extra bonus - it's FREE to enter!
