Accessibility guide

Use this guide to learn about the museum before your visit.

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.
