Our Program from Last Summer

We are currently closed to the public.

We are now in the process of planning what we will offer in 2025. If you want an idea of what we have done in the past, you can still see a full list of the events we ran last summer, in ’24. Hopefully this will whet your appetite for the Summer of ’25.

We look forward to being able to welcome you back.

Tea Room

The Tea Room is CLOSED, but will reopen for the summer of 2025.

We are hoping to continue to be open seven days a week during the summer to serve our delicious oatcakes alongside a pot of tea and, if you desire, ice cream.

Our Tea Room is operated by volunteers and all proceeds go to supporting the Museum. We welcome anyone willing to help with baking oatcakes, or serving, or both!
