Welcome to the Grassington Folk Museum in Upper Wharfedale

We have reminders of yesteryear... exhibits of lead mining, minerals, craft tools, lathes, Dales farming, period costumes, domestic accoutrements, World War II memorabilia, folk lore and the days of the Yorkshire Dales Railway recalled.

Grassington Folk Museum is entirely run by volunteers with professional support from the Craven Museum & Gallery.

We are closed until the Saturday before Easter (27th March 2010) from which date we shall be open every afternoon from 2pm until 4.30pm except Mondays unless they are Bank Holiday Mondays in which case we will be open as for other days.

The Museum is also open from 9.30am until 4.30pm on each of the three Dickensian Festival Saturdays (4th, 11th and 18th December 2010) when visitors are very welcome to look round the Museum and/or to partake of drinks and mince pies by the cosy 'real fire' in the kitchen. The charge is £1.20 for adults to look round and an extra £1 for refreshments (entry for children under 14 years is free but refreshments including squash, hot chocolate and biscuits are £1.00).
