Visit

Immerse yourself in 700 years of history at Avoncroft.

Avoncroft is home to 30 historic buildings and structures, dating from the 14th century to the mid-20th century, across our 19-acre site, including a medieval town house, a 19th century windmill and a 20th century prefab.

We are open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Wednesdays and weekends during term time and Wednesday through to Sunday during school holidays. On non-open days, the Museum is available for school, group and private bookings- discounted rates are available for school visits and pre-booked group visits. Please contact bookings@avoncroft.org.uk for further details.

Whether you have a specialist interest or are looking for a great place to keep the family entertained, you’ll find something to suit everyone at Avoncroft.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome to visit the Museum grounds and tearoom, but must be kept on leads at all times.

The tea room offers a delicious selection of home-made sandwiches, soup, cakes, drinks and ice creams. There is plenty of seating in the historic Shrewsbury Co-op building, and lots of picnic benches outside for sunny days.
