Nidderdale Museum


The Nidderdale Museum is housed in a former workhouse in the market town of Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, England. Set up in 1975, the exhibits focus on rural life and include such period room and business displays as a cobbler's workshop, schoolroom, Victorian parlour, general store, 1930s hairdresser's shop and a kitchen. Other displays include historic costumes, agriculture tools and equipment, local industries and transport vehicles. The Museum is run by volunteers and is open every day from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. from 1 April to 31 October, and Saturdays and Sundays 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. over the winter. Small entry charge for adults. Accompanied children are free.
In 2017 the volunteers at Nidderdale Museum were honoured with the Queen's Award.
