Initially we will be open two days a week on Wednesday and Fridays from 11am till 5pm, last entry is 4pm. If there are no visitors onsite after 4pm we may shut up early. If you are making a special visit to the Museum, we'd advise you to phone first before leaving home. We are running with a smaller team of volunteers than usual and if they get asked to isolate we may not have enough staff to open safely.
If you are making a special visit to the Museum, we'd advise you to phone first. These monthly workshops were sell outs when we ran them last year and there are only a limited number of seats available. We are also please to announce that our Variety Club and Reminiscence sessions have restarted.

I have yet to actually go to the Museum, but today had cause to make a telephone enquiry regarding some research into my Grandfather. I spoke to a very helpful lady, Ellen Owen. She gave me pointers on where to look for information as well as suggesting other people to contact. She couldn't have done more. Thanks very much.

I attended a Halloween event here today with my 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter. It was so much fun and the staff were so friendly! There were toys, books and fancy dress for the kids to use in the main part of the museum too, so we will definitely be attending again. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely day x

Visited there yesterday. The volunteers are very knowledgeable about the area and really went out of their way to find out extra info. I wanted to know more about Rainham Hall, and one of the staff went and printed out a load of info for me to read about it.
The museum is very informative on the different towns in Havering, and I would recommend others to visit.

As History Coordinator at a school and taking multiple school trips here, representatives coming into school and even having an INSET led by the people at Havering Museum I can definitely say the team and resources here are invaluable to children's learning of the local area. The staff are always so accommodating and the children love the interactivity of the displays and the jam packed presentations of facts they've learnt whilst visiting the museum. Great place for schools to build up a long standing relationship with!
