The Museum is now closed until Wednesday 26th March 2025.

We’re pleased to announce that during the time we’re closed over the winter months, our Lobby/Reception Area, Information Point will be undergoing a facelift thanks to a successful funding bid. During this time we won’t be hiring out rooms until next year. 

We’d like to thank all who have made donations last year, we are very grateful for all financial help given. Maintaining this unique attraction is an ongoing task. If you would like to support us by making a donation, please email us at info@valiantsoldier.org.uk for further details. 

Once we are open again we welcome tourists and local residents to pop in and find details of the local weather forecasts, accommodation and places of interest to visit. There will be a variety of 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 maps, 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 in 2025. If you wish to 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: valiantsoldierbuckfastleigh@gmail.com to arrange an appointment.
