Museum Closure

Saffron Walden Museum is closed to the public from Wednesday 18^th March 2020 until further notice, and all Museum events and activities are postponed. This is a precautionary measure against corona virus. 

Update  5th November 2020 : 

The UK government have announced a nationwide lockdown from 5 November until  2 December at  the earliest, and museums are on the list of venues required to close .   We are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that all necessary safety measures are in place for re-opening once the lockdown ends, in line with the government’s updated guidelines.  We will announce our official re-opening date in due course, across our social media channels, website and local media.

Thank you for your continuing support of the Museum.

We want to keep you up to date with our work behind the scenes, as well as bringing you new resources to support you to keep learning and exploring while you are at home. As well as our social media channels we have created a new blog – with learning resources, collections updates, exhibitions online and much more!

Here’s the Promo for our New Blog!
