Flood update - Due to the damage from the flooding, The Gruffalo Trail is closed indefinitely. We will continue to reassess to see when it can reopen.

With five acres to explore, the centre is a must-see in the Forest of Dean. There's something for everyone to discover!

As an accredited museum, we focus on preserving the Forest of Dean's heritage. We share stories and artefacts. We also create an interactive centre and care for valuable items. Our goal is to ensure a lasting legacy and protect our collection for future generations. 

For all traffic and roadwork updates, check our Facebook page.

Please note: Dogs are welcome in the Heritage Coffee Shop and Gift Shop. Only assistance dogs can enter the museum and grounds, including the Gruffalo Trail.

The Dean Heritage Museum Trust is a registered charity. We depend on the income generated by our visitors. Help keep our local history and heritage alive.

Wednesdays at 11:00 & 14:00 and Thursdays at 11:30 & 13:30 Term time
