West Berkshire Museum is housed inside two of Newbury’s historic buildings. Wander through the permanent exhibit and special exhibitions which are arranged throughout the 17th-century Cloth Hall and the old Granary/Corn Stores in the Wharf. The museum is small but is well stocked with fascinating relics from the region’s past. Discover West Berkshire’s towns and villages, its agriculture, industries, infrastructure and pastimes. The local people, past and present, play a big role in the museum. It strives to bring their many different stories to life. Early ancestors as well as more modern-day figures are represented here. Hear the rages-to-riches tale of the well-known character Jack of Newbury, whose story helped shape the town. Discover the fascinating events of the Greenham Common protests, and how a women’s peace camp was established to object to nuclear weapons being placed in RAF Greenham Common in the 1980s. Going back further, find out about the Battle of Newbury, which took place during the English Civil War in the 17th century. While wars and protests take their place, the museum also looks at the more peaceful pursuits of its citizens, with displays on horse racing and theater. See displays covering everything from the Mesolithic period of the Stone Age to collections of artifacts from ancient Egypt. The second-story galleries host the special exhibitions, which can range from local painting exhibits to sculpture and crafts. In addition, there is a full annual schedule of talks and family-friendly activities, as well as a welcoming on-site café. Enjoy a hot drink after a fun and educational tour of the museum. The West Berkshire Museum is located in the heart of Newbury and is easily accessible by public transportation or on foot from the train station. The museum is free to enter, but donations are welcomed to help maintain the high level of curatorship. Visit the museum from Wednesday to Sunday. ## Plan a trip to see West Berkshire Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.
