Erewash Museum and Gardens

Visited the erewash Museum the other day with a friend to look at the Sherwood Foresters collection that was on display until December of this year to which I was expecting a little bit more with the regimental Museum being closed for refurbishment. The building as a whole really nice architecture Lee as an old stately home within erewash with the old kitchens sweet shop stables and I really enjoyed the interactive boards that told you the stories of individuals that worked within the house. They are a gift shop with various teams for children and a few military books in but if you haven't been to the museum before like I hadn't I would love to see further displays of the history of are awash with in that museum as it has plenty of potential.

Erewash Museum is excellent. Today they put on a model railway exhibition which was very good. The food in the cafe is good value for money and kids love it. Thank you Erewash Borough Council for supporting this fine venue.

Visited on the Model Railway Weekend and was an experience and a half! Not many displays but all amazing to see and experience, particularly the display connecting the bottom of Ilkeston Town to the Erewash Canal. Great collection of art from artists both close to home and further afield.

Nice little museum, free entry, often have crafts/trails/events on. The tea room is very reasonably priced but cash only. No parking but nearby at b and m is v cheap - £1 for 3 hours. We went for a Halloween crafts session and the people helping were v friendly and helpful.

An interesting museum for both adults and children. On the territory there is a small garden and a cafe where you can drink delicious coffee or tea with cakes for a good price. The museum also has a shop with many souvenirs and small gifts for every taste! I recommend to visit.

Lovely interesting museum with quirky out buildings all housing interesting things to explore. Great interactive activities for the children. I enjoyed the the new social stitch group on Saturday 3rd Dec.

Brilliant museum with lots of history with friendly staff. Kids loved it will visit again.

Erewash museum does it again,absolutely fabulous value for money and some great events, this year with my grandson we did,...SAND ART. PIRATES AND MERMAIDS,and ANIMAL MAGIC. Would have done much more, but for holidays.Everyone so friendly and always has time to engage with the children, the various trails got brains working, and crafting tables always a winner, shame we couldn't have the beach,but there's always next year.
Well done to you all and a big shout out to the guy on the gate,he's so lovely ( and made a fantastic pirate ☠)
