About This Museum

People don't just come to The Magic Attic for history; they come for the stories, the kind you can almost feel whispering from the old brickwork. It's a place that feels more like a discovery in your own backyard than a formal institution. You'll find yourself charmed by the sheer intimacy of it, where every object, from a humble piece of pottery to a faded photograph, seems to have a direct line to Swadlincote's past. It’s a wonderfully personal and engaging little museum that proves you don't need grandeur to be captivating.

Collection Highlights

The real magic is in the details: the stunning collection of local porcelain and glassware that shimmers under the lights, and the reconstructed Victorian-era room that lets you step right into a moment frozen in time.

Visitor Information

Tucked away on West Street, it's the perfect stop for an unhurried afternoon; with its cozy scale, you can see everything without ever feeling rushed.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a characterful old building that feels every bit its age, with creaky floorboards and low ceilings that only add to its authentic, attic-like charm.
