Maidstone Museum

The museum in St Faith’s Street, which has been entertaining its social media followers with the adventures of its mascot Spike during lockdown, will reopen to the public on Tuesday, July 14. There will be a one-way route and social distancing. Visitors will be encouraged to book their free visit in advance through the website. Some regular activities such as dressing up wont be available and the Ancient Lives gallery will remain closed as it is a narrow space. Museum director, Victoria Barlow, said “We’re doing all we can to make a visit as easy and fun as we can but it won’t be like it used to be for a while. We ask people to bear with us."

On arrival, visitors will be asked some health questions. All tickets must be pre-booked at Woodville.co.uk.
