About this place
Craven Museum is a free-entry indoor attraction inside Skipton Town Hall on the High Street, presenting objects and stories from the local area. It is a useful alternative to an outdoor visit when the weather changes.
The published regular schedule closes on Tuesdays. Check current opening notices before travelling and gallery notices separately: exhibition changeovers can affect the gallery without closing the museum. Events have their own dates and times.
The Town Hall describes a level entrance, lift, hearing loop, accessible toilets and a Changing Places toilet. Family facilities include museum trails and sensory bags to borrow; ask about availability. High Street car park is behind the venue. The station approach is described as about 15 minutes, depending on pace and needs.
