Take a break and refuel at the Museum Café. Offering a cosy atmosphere, our café serves a selection of hot and cold drinks, freshly prepared snacks, and delicious treats. Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee before your museum visit or enjoying a light lunch after exploring our exhibitions, the café provides a perfect relaxing spot. We cater to various dietary preferences and welcome everyone, from museum visitors to those just passing by.
​
Discover a warm welcome and a slice of history at the Museum Café. Its three cosy seating areas are the perfect spot for everyone.
​
Sit downstairs by our crackling log burner (weather and time of year dependant) for a relaxed atmosphere with easy access to the museum’s galleries. Or, head upstairs to the former hay loft, where you can unwind on the sofa while enjoying views of the museum's charming cobbled yard and ambulance exhibition. Our newest addition is our combined café and community space in the former ladder repair shop, inviting you to enjoy your drink surrounded by the rich heritage of this Victorian building.
​
Each seating area is decorated with hints of the museum’s exhibits and stories, with a taste of the fascinating history of our emergency services even as you relax. Come for the history, stay for the atmosphere!

We know that sometimes, bringing your lunch or snacks is the way to go. That’s why we’re happy for you to enjoy your own food in our café space during your museum visit. While we offer a selection of tasty treats in our café, we understand that everyone occasionally loves a little food from home. So, whether you’re bringing packed lunches for the kids or a snack for yourself, please feel free to make yourself comfortable in our café area.​

​We’re passionate about sustainability. That’s why we’re offering a 50p discount on any hot drink when you bring your own reusable cup! It’s a small step that makes a big difference in reducing waste.
​
Our café is open to both museum visitors and anyone passing through the area, so whether you’re here for an exciting day at the museum or just in need of a coffee while out and about, we’d love to welcome you. Enjoy a delicious drink, save money, and do your part for the environment – all at the same time!
