Saffron Walden Museum & Castle Grounds

Saffron Walden Museum & Castle Grounds First opened in 1835. Like for events, news, exhibitions, activities and more! Saffron Walden Museum is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in the country.

Our family-friendly museum explores the archaeology, natural history and social history of north-west Essex and the wider world. With a packed programme of special exhibitions, events and activities throughout the year, as well as nine permanent galleries, there's always something to see and do!
