Opening Times and Entry Fees

The Museum is open for the season until Saturday 1st November. 

Opening times will be Tuesday to Saturday,

10am to 3.30pm (last entry 3pm).

The Valiant next opens in March 2026

The entry fee is £6 per adult; entrance is free for accompanied children under 16, wheelchair users and carers. 

Those with disabilities are welcome but because of narrow doorways and stairs there is limited access, we do have a ramp to enable wheelchair access to the reception area, on the ground floor, where there is a virtual tour that can be enjoyed.  We regret no dogs are allowed in the Museum.

 

Thanks to Buckfastleigh Town Council we secured a successful funding bid from the UK Government UK Shared Prosperity Fund as part of the new ‘Buckfastleigh Gateway Project’.

This has enabled us to  refurbish the Visitor Centre. We now have a lovely gift shop selling a range of items from cards, maps, crafts to delicious ice creams.

This year we also completed the renovation of our Interface/Archive Room. This room has been renamed ‘The Sandra Coleman’ room after the lady who is one of the founder members. If you would like to access our records or look at any of the paperwork we hold that may relate to your property or hold information about ancestry, then please email the archive group to arrange an appointment:
