A Very Historical And Interesting Building, Show's How Leicester Looked ,When Leicester Was Lit By Gas Street Lamps And Later To Modern Day Electrical Street Lamps - The Building In Which The Gas Museum Stands is A historic gas monument.And under the Clock Tower of a Victorian listed building which dates from 1878 When town gas was first made on The Site on Aylestone Road.

A "hidden" gem of Leicester. It's been there for nearly 50 years but never heard of it until last week. Very small-scale but quite fascinating. Recognized a lot of appliances remembered from my youth (see photo). Pluses were, it's free to enter & there's plenty of parking available. The chap at "reception"(Andy) was welcoming, polite, informative & friendly.

I visited as part of a pre-booked group. I’m not sure if you can just turn up. We had an interesting guided tour and learnt about the history of the gas-works before the days of ā€œNorth Sea gasā€ There are some quirky exhibits including a gas hair dryer and a gas radio, I kid you not!

We visited the National Gas Museum with a group and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Staff made us feel very welcome and gave a good introductory talk about the history of the building. Our group loved exploring the range of quirky displays, which sparked plenty of conversations - "I remember...". Staff were very accommodating of our group visit from our initial enquiries through to helping us set up on the day. We brought our own refreshments and used the museum as a venue for our volunteer social event and it worked very well. Thank you, it was...

A really interesting collection of exhibits and story boards spread over two floors telling the history of gas and its uses through the ages in the UK. The curator was really welcoming and helpful and the exhibits, of which there are many, are fascinating. Allow about 1.5-2 hours to see everything. Free entry and free parking on site - there is a cash donation box in the...
