Coronavirus Update
Under the new lockdown restrictions Dorking Museum remains closed whilst plans are put in place to allow us to re-open in January 2021. We hope to resume activities safely then, whilst continuing to offer an appropriate visitor experience.
Our Archives hope to open again after lockdown which is planned for 2nd December 2020.
In the meantime, do check our website for regular blogs, also our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
