Closures

 

2020

 Due to floor space one of the Ceramic Galleries will be closed whilst the current government safety guidelines are in place
11-13 December 

Please note that there will be no access through the rear pedestrian gate due to the Christmas Market.
The Christmas Market is outdoors this year to help us protect our visitors from COVID-19. The majority of the stalls will be on the Parterre Garden, where there is limited access to wheelchairs due to the gravelled surface. There is access to the hot food traders on the Museum terrace, and also to the Museum itself as usual.

Sorry something went wrong, please try again.

The Bowes Museum is closed!

All of us at The Bowes Museum are really sad to announce that we have had to close until Wednesday 2 December in line with new national restrictions.

As a result, we have been forced to cancel events that were due to take place during this time. If you have a ticket for an event or entry to the Museum before this date, you will be contacted to arrange a refund or to make an alternative booking. All Christmas activities including the Christmas Market and Santa’s Grotto are expected to go ahead as planned.

Happily, we are still able to welcome walkers and cyclists to the Park and Gardens as usual, including the Playground area, and cars will be admitted between 10.00 and 4.00 daily.

We have so loved welcoming people into the building again, safely enjoying our displays, eating in Café Bowes and browsing in our shop, so please in the meantime keep safe and we hope to see you back again soon.
