Admission
There is no entry charge to visit Weston Museum’s permanent galleries and most temporary exhibitions. Some national travelling exhibitions may have a small entry fee. Charges for additional activities or events will be advertised on the individual event information.
The Museum is free to enter, but should you wish to leave a donation we have donation boxes or we can take card/cheques at the front desk. We look forward to welcoming you when you visit.
Group Visits
We love to have groups of all sizes visiting Weston Museum, and we do ask that any groups over 10 pre-book a visit to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Please read our Group Visit Guidelines for more information.
To book a group visit, please email museum@wsm-tc.gov.uk.
We offer pre-booked activity packages that can be organised in advance. Some groups also prefer to book our hireable spaces or reserve a table or two in the café, and this can all be arranged with notice.

Disabled Access
Weston Museum is working towards being as accessible as possible. There is a lift for wheelchair users and those who cannot manage stairs to access the main upper floor galleries. Due to the nature of Clara’s Cottage being built in 1865, this part of the museum is unfortunately not completely accessible to wheelchair users due to narrow corridors and a staircase. For more information, head to our page on accessibility.
Clara’s Café
Clara’s Café offers a good range of delicious food & drink. From our homemade cakes and loose leaf tea to our varied light lunch options, you’ll be sure to find something you love! Opening times for the cafe are Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 – 15:00. Our lunch menu is available until 14:30. For more information, please visit Clara’s Café page.
Gift Shop
Our gift shop is home to a variety of local suppliers, who each create something unique and handcrafted. We love to support local crafters, authors and producers, as it helps support Weston’s local economy. For more information on our shop, please visit the shop page.
