eyam plague village museum

This year was our first February, school half term, opening. It was a success even though the weather was mixed. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and thank you for your review.

Thank you for your review, I'm very pleased you enjoyed your visit. It took us a long while to make the talking soldier display, it's good to know you found him realistic.

Very kind of you to send your review.

We appreciate and thank you for your review.

You're right Eyam is a beautiful village. I'm glad you were able to further your family history research whilst you were here.

Wonderful hall to look round, owned by the National Trust, Very interesting village with footpath routes, although very steep. Well worth a visit

The museum is perfectly positioned, opposite the car parks, so that visitors to the village can learn its history before walking around to see where it all happened. I'm glad that worked for you. Thank you for your review and especially for mentioning our helpful stewards.

I was sorry to hear that you were not allowed into the museum. We publicise the opening hours on our website, in our flyers and at the entrance and stick rigidly to those times. We do stipulate that last entrance is 30 minutes before we close, otherwise there would not be time for visitors, having paid, to see all of the displays. I can only surmise that this is where the confusion arose. I am sorry you were unable to see our exhibitions and agree - it was 'a shame'.

One of the prices we pay for living in this beautiful area is the fickle weather, sometimes wonderful, sometimes wet, I'm sorry you got the latter but if you get the chance, come again and see what else there is to enjoy.

Thank you for taking the time to pass on your views. I'm glad you enjoyed the museum, the village and the ice cream!

Thanks for your review.

Thank you. Our volunteers live locally and so have an excellent knowledge of walks, sights, places of interest and the locations of sustenance. A useful and ever ready source of information should our visitors need direction.

The sadness is tempered by the remarkably selfless action of the villagers. I think it's that aspect that fascinates so many people . Thank you for your comments.

Kind of you to write this review.

We went to this village which had a history of the villagers catching the plague from London. We went to Eyam Hall, a National Trust property. Tickets were £8 entrance for a tour of the house. Guides were available to help with the history of the place. There was a courtyard with a coffee shop, crafts, information centre. We also walked through the village, visiting the church. There were some cottages which people are living in today. They had plaques in the garden explaining who used to live there. There were some walks you could do, but we didn't have time. But the leaflet we had explaining the route to the walls and the reasons why were very interesting. All in all, it's well worth a visit.
