Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

Visitors descend to one small room, view the ancient faggot oven and excavation and look through to a recreated working kitchen. Expect the family experience to use the same visitor route as the general visit unless the current programme advertises a separate workshop or guided session.

Age guidance

No formal age restriction is published; the stairs and confined cellar require close supervision of young children.

Practical information

The display is a short add-on rather than a full museum visit. Entry is free; dining requires a separate purchase or reservation. No additional family facility should be assumed from the family programme alone; check toilets, step-free access and pushchair storage directly if they affect the visit. Confirm the current session or activity at arrival even when general admission is free.
