Your family day out at Shoemakers Museum

There is something to do for all the family at Shoemakers Museum. Discover the shoemakers. Step into their world of shoemaking, from the early days of hand making to the hustle and bustle of factory life.

Find out how shoes have changed over time, and what shopping for shoes was like in the 1950s and 1980s.

Then take a dive into pre-history – an undersea kingdom of sea dragons and marine fossils. Have fun with interactives and most of all play.

The education hub is open to families to come in and enjoy when schools are not visiting.

Enjoy a pitstop in the family friendly cafe. The menu is suited to all ages.
