My wife and I were in Lancaster for the wonderful music festival and took the chance to catch up on some history, as I used to work as a guide at the castle. The Judges Lodgings turned out to be a wonderful treasure trove of information and displays and is peopled by wonderful volunteers over-brimming with information about the history of Lancaster. It was a wonderful experience - the little garden and the Museum of Childhood were great bonuses, and the whole thing made for one of the best £5 museum experiences I've ever had! Thank you! Jon

This elegant building was a family home and then used as lodgings for travelling judges when they were in Lancaster. Visitors can see various rooms from that time, including one with a large Gillow billiard table. There is information in each room and members of staff on hand if you have questions. There are various fine pieces of Gillow furniture too and the views from the front windows across the roofs of Lancaster to the Ashton Memorial are stunning. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

Lots of interesting things to see and learn about. I attended with my 9 year old during dinofest and enjoyed doing the related activities. We also had a look around the whole museum. My son really enjoyed seeing the old classroom and old toys in the childhood museum. The garden area is lovely. It is reasonably priced and the staff are lovely. Will definitely go again when other events are on and when my youngest is a bit older.

Great place to visit on the historic trail of Lancaster. Perfect accompaniment to a visit to Lancaster castle and the city museum. Local furniture from Wareing & Gillow on display throughout and the top floor has the museum of childhood where children can play with replica toys. Current admission prices are £3 (£2 concession) per adult and accompanied children are free!
