The Museum is now open to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10.30am to 4.00pm during 2025 (as long as we have enough volunteers).

The house is 450 years old this year so come and follow the House 450 trail and find out about this amazing house.

Look out for events and exhibitions. 

  Do check the website and Instagram for details.

 There is always behind the scenes work to do, but our main emphasis when we're open to the public is having volunteers front of house to greet visitors and say something about the exhibits.

Let us know if you're interested in this.

 We'd love to welcome you to our band of volunteers!

The Museum is totally dependent on volunteers  and donations.

Dogs, other than assistance dogs, are not allowed in the Museum for several reasons. Sorry!

Please give what you can.

Your support is vital for us to stay open to tell the story of Totnes to those who visit us.

Totnes Museum is run by the charity, Totnes Museum Trust, whose charity number is 1191791.

Hidden away behind the Museum is our lovely Garden. Reminiscent of an Elizabethan herb garden, this is a wonderful space to take a break or step away from town’s bustle.

Tended by the wonderful volunteers from Totnes Gardens, this is a fantastic place to come and enjoy nature.

Love Totnes? Enjoy heritage and history? Want experience in museums and heritage? 

Totnes Museum is a charitable trust and  without the help of our volunteers we can't open to the public.

Can you help?

There is something for everyone, from welcoming visitors as they come in to sterwarding, planning exhibitions and working with our collection to filing. Even cleaning!
