Avoncroft Museum, Bromsgrove. AVONCROFT Museum in Bromsgrove will be reopening to the public sooner than expected to mark the early May bank holiday weekend. The museum grounds will be open from May 1 every weekend 10am to 5pm and tickets must be purchased in advance. Avoncroft’s buildings will be closed but staff are hoping the 19 acres of outdoor space will entice visitors to come and explore.
Staff and trustees of the museum have decided to mark May Day bank holiday by reopening the museum grounds to the public. Director of Avoncroft Museum, Zoe Willems, said: “We have a very small staff team at the moment, and a positive army of volunteers and supporters who are helping us to get ready to open to the public. We think it’s more important to be open than to be perfect, so we hope visitors will come and enjoy the 19 acres of open space and understand that we are still a work in progress in some areas. As a further thank you to everyone for their support during the
