Access Guide
We have worked with AccessAble so you can find out about our facilities before you visit. AccessAble’s surveyors assessed our venue to create a Detailed Access Guide. Check out the Detailed Access Guide to Harborough Museum.
Sensory Map
Market Harborough Library and Harborough Museum are based on the first floor of The Symington Building. You can view our sensory map so you know what sounds, smells and light levels to expect when visiting.
The map is split into two sections showing the top and bottom parts of the museum and library, which is in an L shape. Please select each map to view them in full size.
If you have any questions about the map or would like to check events taking place when you are visiting, please contact us.
