The Museum is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am-3.30pm (last entry 3pm), we close at the end of October.

However we still are available for you to hire the space, see below for prices.

We are also an information point for tourists and can help with maps, local weather forecasts, accommodation and places of interest to visit. 

We have lots of lovely gifts on sale; we have specially designed Valiant mugs; as well as copies of the 2025 calendar with old photos of Buckfastleigh from the archives; also there are souvenirs, second-hand books, records and delicious Salcombe Dairy ice-cream.

We have completed the renovation of our Interface/Archive Room which will make access to our records easier for the public and is a lovely space for small groups to meet. Our next project will be updating our Information/Reception area to give it a more welcoming look. We are currently fund raising to achieve this renovation. We’d like to thank all who have made donations last year, we are very grateful for all financial help given, which goes towards maintaining this unique attraction. If you would like to make a donation, please email us at info@valiantsoldier.org.uk for further details. You can also support the Valiant and have a chance to win a prize, by buying a lottery ticket, see the link below.

We also hire out rooms, so if you are looking for a small space at a reasonable cost for a meeting or social gathering or to hold a coffee morning the Valiant/Information area is ideal, please e-mail us: info@valiantsoldier.org.uk for further details.
