Witney & District Museum

OPENING TIMES –  APRIL to OCTOBER – WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY 10 am to 4pm (£3 entrance fee for adults – children under 16 free).

Opened in 1996, the museum is located a short walk from the town centre towards the northern end of the High Street. Look for the archway inscribed ‘Bartlett Builders’ and signed Gloucester Court Mews.  The museum is housed in a traditional Cotswold stone building that was once the home of Malachi Bartlett, the proprietor of a well known local building firm.

The ground floor houses a long term exhibition, showing the history of Witney and the surrounding area. The museum collection includes items from the local brewing, blanket and engineering industries, together with photographs and artefacts relating to Witney buildings, Witney at war, transport, education and religion. Upstairs is the Bartlett Taylor Gallery where temporary exhibitions are staged. Please visit the ‘What’s On’ section of the museum’s website for details.
