Gift Aid

Did you know the National Emergency Services Museum is a charity that receives no ongoing funding towards its survival? This means UK taxpayers can make a real difference by supporting charities like ours by saying YES to gift aid.

Temperature

As a historic building, some areas of the museum can feel unusually cold at times. It’s a small reminder of what winter must have been like for the prisoners who once occupied the cells. If it's cold outside, it can also be cold inside some areas of our site.

999 Staff

As a big thank you to our emergency services for their continued support through donations of equipment, stories and more, we offer discounted entry for 999 staff.
