West Berkshire Museum

About

West Berkshire Museum is housed in two of Newbury’s best loved historic buildings - the 17th century Cloth Hall and the old Granary/Corn Stores in the Wharf. The permanent exhibition ‘Lives and Landscapes’ tells the story of West Berkshire. The second floor galleries host a series of special exhibitions so there is always something new to see along with a year round program of events and family activities.
