Stamford Museum

Come to Stamford Museum to find out more about the ‘finest stone town in England’.

See our unique Stamford Tapestry, fascinating local history collections and chat to our enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff - there is something for everyone!

Stamford Museum is wheelchair accessible: with semi-automatic front doors and lift to Upper Gallery; wheelchair available on request; hearing loop at front desk; some information in Braille; guide dogs welcome

We sell information sheets on subjects such as Daniel Lambert, the Stamford Spitfire, Sir Malcolm Sargent and the filming of Middlemarch

We have 1 hour on street parking outside, or visitors may choose to use a short or long stay car park.

We welcome non-flash photography, on completion of a form.

Photography for commercial purposes must be discussed with the Site Co-ordinator in advance.

We are close to a large selection of cafés and restaurants.

We welcome the use of its collection for research, by appointment.  It includes a large number of photographs and information files on local people, places and events.  Museum staff can provide information on material that is available for specific enquiries.

Our shop sells a wide range of local and in-house publications, including the Stamford Tapestry booklet and Winter Illustrated Talks.  It also stocks a range of postcards and gifts for all ages.

We regret that there are no public facilities on site.

We publish a series of town trails that are available for sale in the shop and also at the Tourist Information Centre.  Town Trail No. 1 is a general walk featuring the highlights of the town.  Others include a Georgian, Victorian and Churches trail.
