welcome to THE dean heritage centre

​​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.

Please note: Dogs are welcome in the Heritage Coffee Shop but not in the museum galleries or the grounds for the protection of the collection and wildlife on site.  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.
