What a brilliant place

Couples

This is my second visit to the Brewhouse yard museum, the first being about 15 years ago. I thought the museum was good then but it is even better now. The exhibits are excellent and the volunteer guides very knowledgeable. It is great value for money but the combined ticket with the castle museum is an absolute bargain. I would definitely recommend this museum to visitors of all ages

So much to see - worth a visit

What a fabulous little museum! Well worth a visit. Loads to see over 3 floors across 4 houses. Staff were very friendly and happy to chat, encouraging questions andallowing handling of some of the items eg kitchen pots to see how heavy they are. The shops upstairs were amazing - the hairdressers looks frightening! Recommend a trip.

Well worth a weekend visit

Firstly, the museum is only open at weekends and bank holidays (this is clear on the website), I assume due to shortage of funding and volunteers.

But, it is well worth the visit. It's an absolute minefield of Nottingham history with some very exciting displays, including a recreated street in the attic and a journey into the sand stove caves.

Gates locked

Family

This was on our list of things to see while in Nottingham. Sadly when we arrived the gates were padlocked and no signs to say why.

Not open midweek!

Couples

This city does not have a lot to offer in the way of museums and one of the few was not open midweek in the school holidays what a missed opportunity

Pretty good

We really liked it here. It is no more than around half an hours worth but it is interesting and informative.
As I said on my Nottingham castle review, it's a shame the lad I paid the admission fee to didn't have the courage to speak up and tell me we could have got a reduced price ticket for both 'attractions'. Instead, he chose to sit there cowering behind the counter like a frightened mouse.

However, this is a good museum and the best part of our day in the city. Thumbs up.

As good as the Castle itself is mediocre

Couples

Wonderful collection, the museum of Nottinghamshire Life. Series of roomd, shops etc recreated. Fascinating troglodyte air-raid shelter.
What a pity you can't get in without buying a ticket for the rip-off castle!

Next to the castle the under cover

Family

This I found was better than the castle, lots to do interesting recreations and lived in caves that back onto buildings that you could imagine living in. If you go on the right day it's free as the city council have done the odd free day. Much bigger than you think and next to a good eating pub built into the stone supporting the castle. Try the fish and chips or the beer

Thank you for taking the time to review our little museum. I am glad you enjoyed the caves. They are a real surprise when you visit

I work there!

The Museum of Nottingham Life opened in 1977. The period rooms include a Victorian Kitchen and Parlour, and an early 20th century Chemist's. There are also toys and games through the ages. We hold our annual Light Night there (in early February) and our 1940s Knees Up in the grounds (2 May this year). The Victorian Schoolroom is open on request. Our Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays (12-4 PM at this time of year). So please pay us a visit!!

Is the Brewhouse Yard Museum closed at present, or will it be open this weekend please ? Visiting Nottingham for husband birthday would be good to visit

Will you be open in February Half term? Your website link just takes me to the council attractions website which is a bit confusing.

I saw your review, but the website isn't working. Is it possible that it has closed down? We live in the USA, and don't want to waste time if it is closed. Thank you so much.

Nottingham castle will close for a 2 year refurbishment on 1st July 2018. Brewhouse yard closed on 1st April

Hi. I would like to know the price of the ticket and if they open on Saturday, December 30th. We do not want to visit the Castle. I am very excited to visit him.

Children under 5 are free. Sorry we have no catering facilities. There is an excellent cafe at the Castle and there are cafes on Castle Road. We do offer tea and coffee to enjoy outside and soft drinks.

Is the exhibition open in the week of half term. My grandchildren would love to see it. We only have them mid-week.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I am sorry but at the moment Brewhouse Yard is only open 12-4 at weekends.

how do I get there from Nottingham city centre? I am going to use the bus. And how much does it cost to get in please? Is it open only on weekends? thks

Brewhouse is just a short walk from city centre. Follow the signs for the castle then head down hill when you see the drum towers. Turn right at the Trip to Jerusalem inn and you are there. Remember if you visit the Castle first, keep your ticket and you can visit Brewhouse Yard Museum of Nottingham Life for free
