Loved the museum. Every room has interactive toys and books for children. My son really enjoyed creating his own shield and painting it. Great easy activity for kids to get involved and adults to enjoy. There are a lot of beautiful paintings and installations, perfect place to learn about Chippenham history. Loved trains and factory work. Definitely recommend to visit and surely will be back soon.
Well worth a visit. A quaint and interesting museum. A lift and WC access. Good access for all. It's small and friendly. Activities for children. It has two levels. It's Free, you can buy a souvenir from the foyer. The staff are very kind and friendly. The museum is self explanatory and is full of items local to area and history. A great stop to understand local history and discover items of history. Some of the items are from further a field, some are very very old and curious.

We had a really nice time. We had a lady in a wheelchair with us and the people in the museum were really helpful and informed us on the history of Chippenham. The Musium is small but interesting, well worth a visit
