What a delight! It is exceptionally well curated and such friendly staff! Do not miss Clara's Cottage and be respectful to her spirit on entry via her back garden. Had a lovely visit and Graham's semi-guided tour just made the experience more special. Thank you.
Weston Museum is a delight to visit. It houses permanent artifacts and temporary exhibitions. It has weekly clubs such as the Chatty Cafe and monthly groups like the MFA (Multi Faith Association) holds local events and lets out rooms for special occasions and can provide a lovely range of refreshments, sandwiches and cakes. It has a cafe serving delicious savoury food and cakes and drinks at reasonable prices and the staff are all really friendly and helpful. Often evening talks and presentations are held and there's disabled access and parking outside. It's close to the centre of town and it's free entrance. If you have not yet visited then I'd entreat you to go. You will be warmly welcomed and entertained by the varied and interesting artifacts, painting and other engaging exhibits.
It's a must visit museum in Weston-super-Mare. Lots to see around upstairs and downstairs , there is a lift if required for people who need it .Lots of upcoming events. Cafe food looked of a good standard. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. It's free entry so call in and find out for yourself.
We were privileged to have our wedding at the Museum! We loved the venue which was a naturally beautiful backdrop, the staff and team at the museum were super helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble and were happy when we popped in randomly beforehand to ask questions and were on hand during all the planning and ensured the day ran smoothly. It felt really bespoke and personal to us, allowing us to add our own touches. Sophie in particular was an absolute star as the main point of contact. She really understood what we wanted to do and helped us make it happen! Huge thanks to everyone at the museum - we strongly recommend the museum as a wedding venue or a venue for any other occasion!
My wife and I love finding little places like this, small but actually packed with some superb information about the history & displays about the local area going way back to Dinosaurs! We were staying at a campsite called Uphill Marina - interestingly in the Museum was some artifacts taken from caves in the quarry that is now the campsite. It is sad that Weston Super Mare town is so run down, but the beach is still a great walk.
