In addition, you will have the knowledge that you have contributed to the development of a museum in a Grade 1 listed building that has been used for governance purposes since Tudor times.

Tablet computers will provide support for those unable to climb the stairs (coming soon). Our front-of-house staff are ready to assist when you arrive.
