WHAT EXHIBITION IS ON?
⛄️ The Snowman™
5 October 2024 – 12 January 2025
In 1978 Raymond Briggs’ story of The Snowman™ was published. The book was narrated entirely through beautifully dreamlike hand-drawn pictures, capturing the innocence and wonder of childhood. In 1982 the story was adapted for the small screen and has been shown at Christmas every year since. The award-winning film has become an integral part of the festive period and is enjoyed by children and adults alike.

The museum is thrilled to present some of the original hand-drawn cels and celluloid sheets used in the TV adaptation, as well as a facsimile of the original manuscript, and a selection of the early books. There is dressing-up for the little ones, a reading corner, and other activities for children.

Please be aware that the exhibition features a flying snowman (which is slightly noisy), the soundtrack to the film playing constantly, and a rotating light that projects snowflakes onto the wall and ceiling.

☕️ The museum café
If you need refreshment, our café serves a variety of drinks, savoury and sweet snacks, and light meals.
Here is our current café menu (PDF).
Please note that the café closes an hour before the museum (3.30 pm Tuesday to Saturday and 2.00 pm Sunday).

🚻 ACCESSIBILITY
There are toilets (including accessible toilets) on both floors of the museum.

🐶 DOG FRIENDLY
We are dog-friendly! You are welcome to bring your dogs provided they are well behaved and on a lead.
