Hi Viv50. Yes you need to book first. Just phone them. They are lovely people. Only 4 people at any time if I remember rightly, but only you and your guests. I booked about 2 weeks before but it was winter when we went. Probably a good idea to book sooner rather than later. They only do 2 demos each day. I think it was about £20 each. Worth every penny. You get nice tea and cakes too x

It is open by appointment only, and you need to call and book in advance. The website can be found (sorry, systems won't let me post link) easily of Googld and it says that over 16s only are allowed and that the visit is 2 hours (it is completely personal and escorted). This is a charming man and wife just sharing his collection as a pseudo-hobby, not trying to be a business or anything like that. Relevant quote from the website:- TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT PLEASE RING & BOOK AS EARLY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN, PARTICULARLY DURING SUMMER MONTHS Telephone (01947) 897440 - Please ring during evenings only - Please note: All enquiries to the museum must be made by telephone only - Thank you

No I wouldn’t say so The people who run it are extremely accommodating but the terrain in not good for wheelchairs and the main museum room is very small I’m not good on my legs There was a stool to sit on in the museum Walking about could be managed with a stick but not a frame

No. He won’t show children around

We paid 20 pounds per person and I gave them a nice tip. They are a lovely older couple ;-)

The museum has a steep approach. I would call them to make sure it is clear.

Are small well behaved dogs allowed in?

Not a helpful answer. Ppl need to budget for costs and we can only phone in the evening?

This is not your usual museum. This is a 'one to one' presentation by the owner, in a confined space surrounded by a large number of unique and often delicate instruments. Many under 16 year olds couldn't be trusted to stand and listen in often dimed light without fiddling! This is just the owner protecting his lifetime collection. I agree it's a pity about some youngsters missing an inspiration, but have been I can fully understand why the rule exists.

Not wheelchair acceasible,sorry
