Milestones Museum

A wonderful trip back in time! This museum is well designed and takes you through the local history in a very atmospheric way. It really comes alive with its victirian streets, trades, and shops. You get to buy a "ration card" when you enter (£1.85) and use it to buy 2oz of sweets in the little sweet shop. It is a really interactive way for children to get to understand the changing periods of times and how they affected people living then. Nice little coffee shop with limited hot food, and snacks. Also, a fascinating gift shop selling all kinds of associated memorabilia from postcards to toys and old fashioned games and sweets. The only thing that was unexpected was that purchases made had the price, then vat was added separately on the receipt! Overall, fully recommended and much to learn about here.

Great place to spend time in , it's under cover so you don't have to worry about the weather. Well set out and great for all ages. The cafe does a good Verity of snacks or meals.

A lovely day out with the kids. A very relaxed environment with lots of parking on arrival. The place has lots of activities and is well-sign posted. Great arcades section - but do go armed with 50p coins as they will be needed, if you want to avoid using card payments. The older retro games require card payment via onsite money converter. There is a decent cafe on the ground floor with a reasonable selection of warm/cold food and a good selection of drinks. The nostalgic bar is pretty cool which serves real old Skool ales!! Well worth a visit and there are a number of places to eat close by if the cafe doesn’t suit.

Fabulous day out. Was so lovely to walk the cobbled streets and look at the old transport and emergency vehicles etc. Lots of things to look at and we really enjoyed playing the old arcade games with real old one penny’s. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A really lovely place to visit. The attention to details was amazing, they even made sure there were authentic smells in each area - for example, a place that had a fireplace, smelled like fire and coal, and a place that was to do with laundry, smelled of detergent. We even managed to get some sweets by presenting a ration book to the shop! We had loads of fun that day.
