This museum showcases a vast collection of artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of Almonry's rich history and heritage. The building itself is a stunning example of Victorian architecture, with its grand clock tower and ornate stonework. Inside, visitors can explore interactive displays, artifacts, and exhibits that highlight the town's industrial past, its role in the English Civil War, and its cultural significance. The museum also serves as a tourist information center, providing visitors with valuable insights and tips on how to make the most of their trip to Almonry.
Unfortunately, the building is currently being restored but that is made up by admission now being FREE. The Almonry is a beautiful museum where you can discover Evesham's fascinating history and learn about different trades in the area (asparagus farming, thatching, etc.). I've been there plenty of times as a kid and love to visit when I return to my hometown. The gift shop has lovely Evesham souvenirs and the staff are very friendly. In fact, after mentioning that my grandad's thatching tools are on display, they let me nip to see them just before closing. Thank you so much! It meant the world to me!
This place is a brilliant example of a local museum. A wonderful experience within many small rooms of the original building. And free to boot!
Such a lot to see, so many different sorts of things, Old carvings from the Abbey, strange tools for basket weaving, a huge mill, a fairground horse, a door from the jail. A beautiful garden with many little treasures fitted around. Nice shop. Uneven floors, stairs to higher floor.
I went yesterday and it was back to normal after the lockdown measures were in place. Obviously it still had hand sanitiser by the door and signs telling you to keep a 2 meter distance. The museum is very interesting to look at but the only thing was one of the buttons that you press in the victorian kitchen wasn't working but I did mention that to one of the members of staff yesterday. They are doing a Halloween event this year about the black plauge which I would like to go to as it sounds interesting especially considering I have come here for years.
Fantastic museum, really enjoyed a wander around the Almonry, and after we asked questions about a family link to some exhibits and the chap on the counter was full of local knowledge and knowledge of things in the museum.
What a fantastic small museum this is, right in the heart of Evesham. Well worth a visit, you wouldn't be disappointed. Brilliant place to visit.
