    The Havering Museum is open but with reduced hours

    All day
    18/05/2020

    The Havering Museum will reopen on Friday 23rd July 2021 at 11am.  Initially we will be open two days a week on Wednesday and Fridays from 11am till 5pm, last entry is 4pm. If there are no visitors onsite after 4pm we may shut up early.

    If you are making a special visit to the Museum, we’d advise you to phone first. We are running with a smaller team of volunteers than usual and if they get  asked to isolate we may not have enough staff to open safely.

    • Although not mandatory, we encourage all visitors to wear face masks for their own well being and that of our volunteers.
    • Test & Trace QR code and contact sheets are available for those that wish to use them.

    A few tickets are still available for Peter Owen’s ‘In the Footsteps of Heroes’ walk around the former RAF Hornchurch site. More details on our ‘What’s On‘ page.

    The Havering Museum is closed on Mondays.
