Abbey House Museum

A fun, family-friendly and interactive museum, Abbey House Museum is a great day out for all the family.

Step back in time and wander through the enchanting streets, shops and houses and experience life as a Victorian. On the ground floor visit Stephen Harding Gate, the 19th century equivalent of a modern high street for some old fashioned retail therapy. In the back streets, see the home of the window washer woman or pop into the Sunday-School. On the first floor, see the Childhood and Community Galleries along with the changing programme of exhibitions.

The Abbey Cafe is located across the road a short walk from the museum in picturesque grounds of Kirkstall Abbey on of the most complete Cistercian ruins in the country.

Visit in the school holidays for themed activities, trails and creative sessions. Keep an eye on the website to find out what’s coming up and plan your next visit.
