This doesn't appear to be on your list.

Both Gloucester Folk Museum (westgate street, gloucester) and Gloucester City Museum and Art Gallery (brunswick road, gloucester) are free admission and open Tues-Sat 10am-5pm.

Link - won't let me post it but if you Google gloucester museums you should find it!


Free craft activities for kids on Saturdays and throughout the summer holidays.

Hi, wondered if you could add Prescot Museum to your listings of free museums in the North West?
It's a small local history museum, small but with a lot packed in!
We also have lots of acitivities on in the school holidays along with Sunday Funday.

As part on Knowsley Arts & Heritage Service, we also have 2 galleries; Kirkby Gallery and Huyton Gallery, which are also free.

Can you let me know how to list these spaces and I can send further info of opening times etc
Thanks
