and gardens
Everyone is welcome. Entry to the museum, housed in Clare’s former home, is ticketed — but the café, shop, and gardens are free to enjoy.
We’re delighted to share that we are updating and extending our opening times
From week beginning 11th May, we will be open:

This step forward has only been possible thanks to the dedication, goodwill, and hard work of our fantastic volunteers and site team whose commitment has given us the confidence and capacity to expand our opening.
Thank you, too, to our many visitors for your continued encouragement and support — it means a great deal
