The Beacon Museum Shop will be getting a fresh new look! From Saturday 20 September until Saturday 25 October, the shop will be closed for refurbishment. Don’t worry though—some of your favourite items will still be available to buy at a temporary stall near reception.
To keep everyone safe while the work is carried out, the museum itself will be closed on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 September, Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 September, and again on Monday 14 – Friday 17 October, to reopen on Saturday 18 October. Please also note that on Tuesday 30 September there may be some paint smells in the building.
We’re especially excited to share that we’ll be adding a brand-new Reading & Sensory Area. This cosy corner will be perfect for families—a place to curl up with a book, spark children’s imaginations, and explore through sensory play. It’s all about encouraging curiosity, creativity, and those special moments of connection between little ones and their carers.
Big changes are on the way, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to see them!
