People’s History Museum

The People’s History Museum, housed in a historic former pump house on Bridge Street, is more than a museum, it’s a dynamic gathering place where democracy, community and conversation come alive. With free entry, interactive exhibits, and regular social events like workshops, family-friendly activities, and civic meet-ups, it offers a welcoming space for people to connect and share ideas. The on-site café run by social enterprise Open Kitchen encourages meaningful interaction over sustainable, ethical drinks and light meals, fostering a sense of shared purpose and real-world connection.
