Visiting

Opening Times

The museum will re-open in April 2021.

Contact the museum about our exclusive guided tours, available from early Jan

Families with babies and young children

No. 1 Royal Crescent aims to be welcoming and inclusive to everyone who visits the museum, including parents or guardians visiting with babies and young children.

Unfortunately prams and buggies cannot be taken through the house due to the historic nature of the building and its contents.

Breastfeeding and bottle feeding is allowed anywhere where there is visitor seating within the museum. Should parents require more privacy, please ask a member of staff on arrival who will be happy to assist in finding a quiet spot.

Baby changing facilities are not on the visitor route so please ask for assistance and a member of staff will guide you to the facilities.

A family trail is available for children.

Have fun!
