Ladybird artists at heart of new programme as Museum of Gloucester announces road to return
The Museum of Gloucester has announced its shop, café and the Tourist Information Centre (TIC) are to reopen on 13 April and the wider museum should welcome visitors back on 18 May, government guidance permitting. At the same time, it has announced a change to seasonal opening hours (see below) and is tempting shoppers back with a free takeaway hot drink for every gift shop purchase over five pounds in April.
The museum stresses that all front-of-house staff are committed to following government guidelines on distancing and numbers of people in the shop. It has also revealed that its summer family-friendly exhibition will be ‘The Wonderful World of the Ladybird Book Artists!’ focusing on the children’s books which formed such a large part of the childhood of anyone brought up in the UK in the 1960s and ‘70s.
According to Cllr. Steve Morgan, Gloucester’s cabinet member for culture, “I have no doubt that whilst following strict government guidelines, the museum, shop, café and TIC can open successfully and provide visitors with the quality service and experiences that they have grown to love within our fabulous heritage city.”
The Museum of Gloucester and TIC new opening hours from mid April at are:
Mid-February- October: Museum and TIC. 10am-5pm, Tuesday-Saturday and 11-4pm on Sundays
November-Mid-February: Museum and TIC. 10am-4pm, Tuesday-Saturday and 11-3pm on Sundays.
