Avoncroft Museum is an ideal venue for group visits With over 30 historic buildings set across 19 landscaped acres Avoncroft Museum provides a fabulous day out for organised groups. Paths across the site and ramps to the buildings mean that the vast majority of the site, including tearooms, shop and toilets, are fully accessible. Generally groups should allow a minimum of two hours to visit the site. The museum is flexible about days when groups can visit but due to the relatively small size of our historic tearooms groups wishing to eat will need to prebook either our highly rated buffet lunches or a set afternoon cream tea. Important notice for coach groups As the Avoncroft Museum tearooms can be very busy during open days ALL coach trips of between 10 and 20 individuals must either pre-book a high quality buffet lunch prepared onsite by our inhouse tea. This is served in a private room. Alternatively each member of the group must or pre-order and pay for food on arrival. We regret that we will not be able to provide meals for coach groups that have not pre booked food. Groups of over twenty wishing to have lunch on site will need to pre-book a buffet lunch in advance. Customers are of course welcome to bring their own food to eat but due to space limitations this cannot be consumed in the tearoom. Packaged Visits To help your group get the best out of your visit we have developed two inclusive packages. See feedback.
