Getting back to Burwell Museum - reopening 6th August

Like everyone, we've been watching the development of government advice and trying to work out what we can do and when. We've decided that we can open some bits of the museum to the public again from Thursday the 6th of August, but because we can't offer a full service we will operate on a donation only basis. We don't want to put any pressure on anyone to visit before they're ready to come out, but we want to provide a service to those who want to use it through the school summer holidays. We're very grateful to everyone who is following us and wishing us well, and we hope to see you when you feel it's right for you! For now, here are our guidelines for opening from next week: 

Welcome back to Burwell Museum!
