This museum is directly underneath Nottingham Castle. It's fairly small, but there are a series of rooms which focus on the hardships of everyday lives of lace-workers and others in the Nottingham of the industrial revolution. Well worth a visit.

Visited the Brewhouse Yard Museum after we visited Nottingham Castle. In our view, this is a better visit as the displays are more focussed. Definitely worth a visit to see how the folks do back then, and how they lived in the houses.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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
Written April 12, 2019
Will you be open in February Half term? Your website link just takes me to the council attractions website which is a bit confusing.
Written February 10, 2019
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.

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.

Written January 22, 2017

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
Written February 5, 2016
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
