Preston Park and Museum

Set amongst 100 acres of beautiful parkland overlooking the River Tees, Preston Park Museum and Grounds offers an exciting and enjoyable day out for everyone, whatever the weather. Recently reopened after a £7million redevelopment, the Museum itself offers a fantastic visitor experience, whether it be strolling along the Victorian Street watching traditional craftspeople at works or exploring the exciting collections of art and armour in the Grade II listed Hall.

Preston Park Museum and Grounds contains a wide range of additional attractions, from the exciting new Adventure Playground set high amongst the trees, to the tropical treasures waiting to be discovered in Butterfly World. For those wanting a little peace, enjoy a stroll along out many woodland and riverside paths, or kick back and relax in the pleasant surroundings of Watson and Brigham Tearoom.

The Museum is an interactive and exciting place for all children. Please see our website for specific events such as Under 5s' Clubs and family friendly events throughout the year.
