This museum showcases a collection of artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of Honiton's history and heritage, with a focus on the town's lace-making industry, its role in the English Civil War, and its connections to the nearby countryside.
Lovely museum. The volunteers were very nice and helpful and we could of talked to the lady doing the Lace demonstration all afternoon. Lots of interesting things to look at l, and information about the local area. Also the hippopotamus skull is amazing
Wonderful compact museum crammed with artifacts and history. The Honiton lace is the highlight. Volunteers were very happy to talk about any of the exhibits. More than one visit is recommended to appreciate everything on display.
Lovely and understated museum. I grew up in Honiton but only ventured in at the weekend with my two young children. The volunteers are so lovely and kind. There is also so many interesting things ranging from one of Wallace Simpson's nightgowns to a German bomb. For kids there is a hippo hunt and some colouring on a dedicated table. Easy to spend 30 minutes looking through the exhibits. Highly recommend
It is a free to visit museum, so obviously deserves some recognition. The volunteers we met were nice and friendly, they were helpful and let the children take part in a free hippo hunt, which is nice. The displays are fairly typical for this type of place, a little bit of local history and some war items. A good way to kill an hour or so...
Received fascinating talk from volunteer staff member about history of lace making in East Devon. This museum has the best collection of Honiton lace in the world. Other interesting exhibits too. Well worth a visit and it's free. For disabled people most of the museum is on one level with a short stair lift down the 3 or 4 steps to the lace exhibition and an on site wheelchair for use if necessary.
Free entry and staffed with knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. It was very interesting even to my husband, who initially wasn't keen on going. The gift shop is always worth a visit. Amongst other things, they sell scraps of vintage Honiton lace, which is very affordable. I bought some for my daughter to have sewn into her bride's dress as her something old.
