Coronavirus Update
Although the Government is relaxing social-distancing and other health and safety guidelines, Dorking Museum currently remains closed whilst plans are put in place to allow us to re-open and resume activities safely whilst continuing to offer an appropriate visitor experience.
Our Archives are open on an appointment only basis.
In the meantime, do check our website for regular blogs, also our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
