Reviews of Abington Park Museum
J. K.Intricate and interesting carvings in the oak room. This museum seems to be a work in progress but a delightful place to visit and lots to see
G. H.Love taking kids here free admission good birds in Avery on the side of this museum good cafe and open spaces wonderful old standing buildings and a good lake near by and a nice play ground for the kids .
J. S. (. M. 3.Great place, free admission but well worth leaving a donation... You can learn lots about the history of Northampton there, as well as just getting to explore this massive house. Definitely well worth a visit if you're in the area!
L. C.Loved taking my little ones here… Wonderful birds in Avery, great cafe with lovely coffee.
Truly amazing open spaces with beautiful wildlife and a good lake near by.
R. F.If you visiting the park is a must to go in to the Museum!
Q.Visited an Arts and crafts fair at the Museum. Lots of unusual crafts but what caught my eye was the stall on the first floor with some unique handmade crafts run by friends and two cousins. "Purely Pastels" by Tracy Rood - exquiste fine art painting and drawings of animals and scenes. "Bootalishous: made from cute Wellington Boots with a plant/flower display in the centre. It's also on a hand carved and laquared log base. A handmade Yoga bag with pockets by cousin Diane. Gift bags filled with unique items. Authentic horseshoes
So much to look at...and be inspired by
E. K.It's an amazing park,with a beautiful garden.
If you are looking for a quite green place it's the parfect spot.
k. f.Lovely little museum telling the history of Northamptonshires military and the history of the house and life in Northampton. Free entry and well worth spending an hour wandering through the lovely old house. Be sure to see the birds outside too and spend some time in the magnificent park.
S. W.An amazing place, full of loads of artifacts and information and lots of local history. With lots of events throughout the year its a fantastic place for adults and children. We have just been to the autumn food festival and come home with lots of delicious goodies. We've also attended the Easter egg hunt and also plan to go back for the Halloween special.
S. M.We had the privilege of a "Behind the Scenes" tour, as part of Heritage weekend, last Saturday. We were very impressed. The new layout of the Museum is a great improvement, making the building seem lighter and more open.
S. V.Beautiful long stretch park. There's a pond with fishes and kids enjoy when fish jumps to catch food .. There's cafe and ice cream vendors, play zone for kids, bird park with varieties of birds caged. Family events can be conducted. Great Picnic spot. And definitely greenery gives out good oxygen and a quick walk will gain health.. yes they have walking track and pets are allowed. For all age groups its happiest place one can enjoy being there.
S. &. S.Really nice, calm atmosphere, some of the rooms have been cleared enabling you to appreciate the beutiful house, some rooms still have the classic slightly disturbing, creapy museum vibe but others have been redecorated and are now really fresh and bright. Lovely❤
Follow me on Twitter @pilcrow102030 to see more pictures of the places I've travelled and the wonderful people I've met along the way.💖
C. F.Lovely building in a really beautiful location adjacent to Abington Park. There's a good cafe nearby in the park with outdoor chairs and tables. The museum is currently hosting art lectures while the town centre art gallery is refurbished.
G.Went in for the 'Death on two legs' exhibition but ended up wandering around the rest of the museum and wow! Lots of informative exhibits about the world wars and the part played by Northmaptonshires very own Yeomany Regiment. Not only was I impressed by the war exhibits but also the many historical pieces displaying what life in Northampton was like over the past couple of decades.
Really worth a visit, especially if local to the area.
D.Having visited this museum periodically over the past 50 years, it appears to be a shadow of its former self - a little disappointing and uninspiring now. A few of the original exhibits still exist, but a lot of the rooms seem a bit empty, with little to engage with the younger visitors. There is scant evidence of any investment from the sale proceeds of the Egyptian artifact - possibly the only valuable asset in the collections. As this is currently the only museum open to the public, it does little to promote Northamoton's cultural heritage.
W. R.Lovely place visit, set in a beautiful park. Full of history and an absoute maze to walk round. New decor in parts and this has made museum look light, bright and spacious
F. M.This is a wonderful museum to visit. However, Dogs not allowed,which can be difficult on one's own. They do supply fresh water at the door which is very thoughtful.
A. E.The museum was very clean and tidy and of the few staff that were around, they were very polite and pleasant. We enjoyed the displays and will be coming back again soon
L. S.A good improvement on when I last went a few years ago. It is actually quite interesting and well thought out now. Worth a visit - it's free!
S. A.Great little museum (but bigger than you'd expect), got a bit of everything in it. Could easily spend an hour or two in there walking around.
R. B.Went to this museum mistakenly with my friend Carl as we were actually wanting to visit the boot and shoe museum as Carl loves feet, but ended up here instead. I thought it was great but Carl was very disappointed.
B. H.Great free museum. Always worth visiting when going to Abington Park. The house has that mysterious, slightly spooky feel that the kids enjoy and the exhibits are well presented and interesting.
H. M.Absolutely beautiful museum, shows most of Northamptons history in a piece of history, staff are friendly, is child friendly has interactive play areas for them
M. L.Lovely little museum, well worth a family outing whilst the main building in the centre is undergoing refurbishment. New displays recently opened.
S. A.If you're in the park, it's worth paying a visit (it's free) and is quite interesting, but it's not somewhere that you make a special trip to visit. Opening times are a little random; open certain times, on different days at different times of the year.
Y. V.Abington park museum is four starred museum I think and is perfect for our kids also.
A. V.Local history museum in the middle of Abington Park. Open on selected days. It's house a old Manor house and has lots of interesting items and history. Worth a look if visiting Northampton.
S. H.Nice place . Nice and big . Free amission with a little shop .sometimes hold plays on the courtyard . Nice little place and hold some.good events .
d. m.Lovely old building with character, lots go on inside, wax models, art gallery, just a nice place to visit.
p. s.Small but compact museum, a number of exhibits o do with the northampton regiment. My only gripe is that the enclosed courtyard is overgrown with weeds which let's the place down.
M. R.Interesting displays of militaria of local units . List of names of serving men in wars .wooden staircases and floors in the old building were made to last
n. m.went to see HAMLET, PLAY by MASQUE theatre group. excellent play. really intimate in the courtyard.
Never been to anything like this and will deffo do it again
D. E.The activities (bookable in advance) for children are always great. Today we made a suncatcher!
D. W.The museum is situated in Abingdon park in a Tudor manor house which dates back to 1485 and was formally a domestic residence, asylum and now a museum. The museum collection consist mainly of local artefacts from different years. The entrance is free and there are toilet and disabled toilet facilities. Parking on the perimeter road next to the park is free. The park contains a duck pond, fishing lake, children's play equipment, Avery and cafe.
