What's included

For groups booking a half or full days hire, we include an introductory talk about the building and the heritage of the co-operative movement for 20 people. Additional numbers are charged at £3.50 p/h.

We provide you with flipcharts, pens, tea and coffee facilities and high quality projection and audio equipment for presentations.

Catering

We are happy for booking groups to arrange catering to be brought to the site as we cannot provide this in house. If you would like us to arrange provision for a breakfast meeting, please contact us about this as well as with any allergy requirements in advance.

If you would like to arrange a lunch or evening meal for your party, the Baum Public house next door to the museum building offers an extensive menu, real ales and an attractive garden to the rear. Please make bookings directly with the Baum.

The Co-operative Heritage Trust is a member of the Association of Independent Museums (no- 2643) and gratefully acknowledges the Hallmarks grant awarded to help us achieve the improvements we have made to our hire space in 2019. This helps us to generate income into our museum to help us keep it free at source to our visitors from the local area, the UK and around the world.
