Please note: Due to Bassetlaw being included in the ‘Very High’ Tier 3 Local Alert Level, the Government has advised that all indoor entertainment and tourism venues must close.
This unfortunately means that Bassetlaw Museum and the Pilgrims Gallery will be closed to the public for at least 28 days from Friday 30th October 2020.
We understand that this is a great disappointment to our regular and new visitors and we hope to be open as soon as the Government restrictions are lifted.
