Welcome to Crewkerne & District Museum & Heritage Centre.

An Award Winning – Volunteer Run – Independent Museum.

The main Museum is now closed for the winter.

A big THANK YOU to all who have visited this year and contributed to our successful 25th Anniversary season.

Opening again in Spring 2026.

Entry to the Museum is FREE!  All donations are warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated.
