Erewash Museum and Gardens
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Erewash Museum for history; they come for an experience that feels both personal and pleasantly lost in time. You can sit at a worn wooden desk in the Victorian schoolroom, imagining the scratch of slate pencils, or feel a quiet solemnity in the wartime gallery's everyday artifacts. Outside, the laughter from the garden maze and families picnicking on the lawn creates a joyful counterpoint. It’s this charming blend of immersive nostalgia and simple, present-day pleasure that defines a visit.
Collection Highlights
The hands-on Victorian schoolroom, where you can literally take a seat at a old-fashioned desk, and the thoughtfully curated wartime gallery that tells local stories.
Visitor Information
It's perfect for a family day out—bring a picnic for the lawn, let the kids run wild in the maze, and explore without any stuffy pretensions.
