We welcome all types of groups to the museum, whether you’re adult group looking for a day trip, a community group, or a SEND group looking for a bespoke visit.

  • Meet friendly people and feel part of a welcoming team
  • Discover fascinating objects, photographs and stories from Congleton’s past
  • Share your own memories and local knowledge
  • Learn new skills at your own pace
  • Help make the museum more useful for local people, schools, families and visitors
  • Support a small museum that depends on the time, care and enthusiasm of its volunteers

SEND groups may prefer to split up into smaller groups of up to 10 if booking a talk or practical session alongside a visit. We offer a range of practical learning sessions which can be tailored to your group to accommodate a specific age range or disability.

Parking

There are limited parking spaces outside the museum, including one disabled space. Unfortunately, we are not able to reserve parking in advance. It is possible to drop-off groups directly outside the museum if travelling by car or mini-bus. Coaches are not able to park outside the museum due to limited space. Please refer to the local car parks for coach and additional parking.
