Parking is available onsite at the Museum, where we operate two car parks.

- Pay & Display car park: This will be FREE to park for our Museum Members and Blue Badge holders, along with pre-booked coach bays. This is signposted to the left as you enter the Museum grounds. Members must display their special Museum members car parking sticker (Please ask in the Museum shop if you have not yet received one – these will only be issued from the Museum shop).
- Café visitor parking: This will be available along the road behind the café. We ask that visitors only use these spaces if they are visiting the Café only.
- FREE car park: For all visitors to use. This is signposted to the right as you enter the Museum grounds and is approximately 400 yards from the Cafe and shop. On parking in this car park, there is a short 5-minute walk to the Museum entrance via the shop.
