Local stories in the former courthouse / OUNDLE

Oundle Museum

Let the museum give a short Oundle visit some depth. Objects, local stories and the former courthouse setting connect the attractive streets to the people who lived and worked here. Choose a few subjects to explore, leaving time for the changing exhibition and children’s activity area rather than expecting a large all-day museum.

Before you go

The 2026 public season runs on weekend afternoons from late March to 1 November. Older tourism listings show different hours; use the museum’s own current timetable.
