Loved this museum! Bought a joint ticket for the castle too for around £5 each. A series of rooms / mock-ups of family homes and shops from times gone-by. Wonderful remembering all the shop items and toys. We especially enjoyed the large dolls house which a lady's godmother had spent 7 years making for her. Also enjoyed experiencing the air-raid...

Was part of our ticket price for Nottingham Castle and the Cave Tour. Very cute little insight to life back in the early days in Nottingham and each room was decorated as such filled with items of the period. Also, showed how it was used as a bomb shelter, besides storing beer back in the day. Took us about half... More

Brilliant, a step back in history. The kids loved the air raid shelter and listening to the siren. Also a step back to the childhood toys of different eras. A really good place to go and lovely helpful staff.

I remember when the Brewhouse yard was always open and was a memorable place to visit as a child. It seems that lately it is very rarely open. It has great history and its a shame that they are not able to open their doors as often as they once did.

We were unfortunate not to be able to visit the Brewhouse as it is only open at weekends out of season. I have been before and wanted my friend to experience the 'go back in time' theme that they have. The cost of the Museum is included in the Castle Entrance Ticket, so great value for money. Had we returned... More

|f you have children don't forget to pick a question sheet at the start as this will give great pleasure to all going round. This museum has entire shops on display taken from donations by local business for example a victorian chemist, a cobblers etc. For adults its a trip down memory lane of carbolic soap and reckitts blue bags...

If you don't mind feeling old then this is the place for you. Looking at some of the exhibits reminds you of your own childhood (depending on your age of course) Brought back some wonderful memories and our grandchildren enjoyed their school visit too.
