The Museum’s Court Barn from Lee-on-the-Solent is home to BBC’s The Repair Shop series and is closed for private hire (filming).
Whilst the production team are busy filming for the TV show, the area around the barn is closed to the public, however you might be able to take a glimpse of the team in action. We politely ask our visitors to stay behind the barriers and not to take photographs or film them whilst they are working.
The production team and stars of the show are now away for their Winter break and will be back in the early Spring.
Sneak Peek Open dates
Throughout the year we may have the opportunity to offer Sneak Peek dates, when you can take a look inside the famous barn. These dates are only available when they are not busy filming, so we have to work around their very busy filming schedule.
The production team want to keep the secrets and surprises of the show ready for when the programmes are released, so these dates are subject to change, and we will only release them once they are 100% confirmed.
We will update this page once we have any Sneak Peek dates available.
Please do not contact the Museum or Ricochet (the production team) to enquire about these dates. If we do have any dates they will be clearly displayed on this page and/or our what’s on section of our website.
Please check back on this page later in the year, or you can sign up to our Museum mailing (see bottom of this page). We will always communicate the Sneak Peek dates to our mailing list when they are confirmed.
Thank you for your understanding.
Repair Shop Enquires
For all Repair Shop enquiries, please do not contact the Museum (we are simply the venue) – instead, please contact Ricochet directly.
Please note that the conservators featured in the series come from across the UK and are not resident at the Museum – the Museum is unable to offer conservation advice for the repair of items and unable to accept post or take delivery of items for repair. If you are interested in applying to be on the series please apply via the website: www.ricochet.co.uk/casting/the-repair-shop
For all other queries please contact 01273 224800 or email repair@ricochet.co.uk and liaise directly with Ricochet before sending your items in the post, to avoid loss or damage.
