Athelstan Museum tells the history of Malmesbury, an attractive hill top town built to a Saxon road plan on the site of a 2,800 year old Iron Age hill fort and the area of North Wiltshire that surrounds it. Malmesbury, which lies on the edge of the Cotswolds, is a great place for a family day out and Athelstan Museum, with its collection of artefacts and explanation of local history is the place to start.
We run a series of short termexhibitionsso our displays are always changing. There are lots of interactive things for the children and our volunteers are always ready to explain and elaborate on our exhibits.
