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.
