Facilities for visiting with children
A buggy and pushchair park is available within our
award-winning museum building, and a cloakroom for bags and coats.
There is also a separate baby changing facilities and a
breastfeeding room for nursing mothers.
Eating and drinking
Children are welcome in Sheilings Café and there is
a special children's menu, high chairs and a facility for warming
baby bottles. Non-museum visitors welcome too.
Want to enjoy the weather and our fantastic grounds outside? Our
picnic area is popular with families of all ages. We also have a
room indoors for groups with packed lunches.
Access
If you are bringing your own car, our free on-site car park
provides easy access to the museum building. The museum building
benefits from level access, ramps and lifts, although please note
there is no ramp access or lift facility in our Georgian farmhouse.
Our farm explorer tractor-trailer provides on-site transport and
buggies can be carried on board.
The National Museum of Rural Life has a policy in place if
children become separated from their party.
