Welcome Back to Kirkleatham Museum
We are excited to welcome you back to Kirkleatham Museum from Tuesday 18th May.
We want to make your visit as safe and enjoyable as possible so this means there will be some changes to the way you visit.
We are admitting fewer people into the museum so we can provide enough space for social distancing. This means you will need to book your visit in advance. If you don’t book in advance you maybe turned away or asked to wait until the number of people in the museum has reduced before you can be admitted.
