Rutland County Museum and Visitor Centre
| Extended Opening Hours!
Get more from your museum, we are now open longer on Sundays during the summer. Our new opening times are from 1pm until 5pm on Sundays.
Rutland County Museum and Visitor Centre is the perfect introduction to England’s smallest county. The "Welcome to Rutland" gallery, tells the story of the county, and leads into displays of archaeology, history and rural life. You can have a go at traditional local games or sit and enjoy a tea or coffee in the spectacular 200 year old indoor riding school of the Rutland Fencible Cavalry. The museum's Exhibitions and Events programme features the works of local artists, many of which are for sale and The Visitor Centre holds the latest information about other events and activities in the area. The Museums Service is supported by The Friends of Rutland County Museum and Oakham Castle who have raised over £170,000 for the work of the Museum since 1973. The Friends have helped the Museum to buy and fit out additional premises, facilities and exhibitions and to acquire many items for the Museum’s collections.
