Ashby-de-la-Zouch Museum, North Street, Ashby de la Zouch. 01530 560090

Ashby Museum was established in 1982 in a small cottage in Lower Church Street. In 1991 it relocated to its present home in North Street, where it shares the old National School building with the town Library and Tourist Information Centre. In 2006-7, thanks to a major Heritage Lottery Fund Grant, a two storey extension was added. It is a Registered Charity and is run by a group of trustees supported by over 50 volunteer custodians. It has Stage II Registration and has won the Leicestershire Heritage Award for best temporary exhibitions in 1998, 2001 and 2003. In July 2007, the museum won Museum of the Year in Leicestershire. It works closely with the county Museum Service and other independent museums in the area, sharing expertise and artefacts.

The museum is proud of its successful links with local schools, family researchers and other interested individuals and groups. We run a wide programme of events, temporary exhibitions and classes and have excellent research facilities. Please visit out website for further details.
