Are you wheelchair friendly?
|
|
The new building is accessible by lift. Unfortunately, the majority of the exhibition is displayed in a medieval hall
house with all the original stairways and passageways retained, therefore access
is extremely limited for wheelchair users. Due to the age of the building and
its listed status, we regret that we are unable to provide lifts to the upper
floors.
Price for special needs plus carer £5.00. |
Is a visit to the exhibition suitable for the visually impaired?
|
|
The majority of the displays have push button commentaries.
|
Do you offer guided tours?
|
|
No. The majority of the displays have push button commentaries, describing 'how life used to be' in the home and the high street. In addition, we offer discovery sheets in seven different European languages, namely English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Dutch.
|
How long does it take to visit Yesterday's World?
|
|
We have over 100,000 exhibits (!) so you should really allow at least an hour and a
half to two hours to have a proper look around the museum and gift shop.
|
Can we return to Yesterday's World on the same day?
|
|
Yes - you can go round the museum and gardens as many times as you like on the day of your visit, simply present your receipt/ticket at the counter upon your return. Please note that we try to allow a 45 minute gap between large parties, so group organisers should enquire first before returning with groups of 15 or more.
|
Do you have an activity sheet for children?
|
|
Yes
|
Can I take my child's buggy round the museum?
|
|
Due to the medieval character of the stairways and building, you will be asked
to hand in your pram or pushchair, in exchange for a number, before you commence
your tour of the house. Buggies are allowed in the new building. Please ask one of the staff behind the counter if you
would like to borrow a light weight pushchair to use as you go
round.
|
Do you have toilets on-site?
|
|
Yes. The ladies,gentlemen and disabled toilet plus baby changing facilities are
in the new building. There are also public toilets available upon arrival in each of the town car parks.
