Me and my partner both enjoyed the Lord of the rings exhibit. Could anyone please explain the armadillos in the little house by the door? A pleasant and free addition to our afternoon.

Excellent museum for local history and a wonderful place to visit and dine here. We watched a great band called Last Post. I'd recommend visiting here 😁👍

Free to enter with an indoor kids play area, toilets and cafe. A community museum space celebrates local history in a building with over 100 years of history itself (primarily as a school) and redeveloped and relaunched in 2022. Rotating fine art exhibitions in the main gallery are paired with community work in the display gallery. School groups and one-off events make great use of the collection and classrooms not open to the public every day.
