Tenby Museum & Art Gallery
See Tenby through local history, archaeology and art, including work associated with Gwen and Augustus John. The collections connect the harbour town outside with its seafaring past and creative life. Children can look for the family activities while adults spend time with the paintings; choose a few themes rather than trying to read every label.
Check the current opening page carefully: April–September is presently Monday–Friday, while the October–March timetable is still to be confirmed. Older leaflets show a different pattern, so do not assume a weekend opening.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Castle Hill, Tenby, SA70 7BP
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- General adult admission is paid, with tickets currently valid for 12 months. Contact the museum about group visits and current opening. The page gives conflicting wheelchair-admission statements, so confirm the appropriate concession directly; accompanying carers are listed as free.
- Access and getting around
- The museum is approached up a steep hill. A lift serves floors, but three steps lead down to the toilet described as accessible and to the temporary exhibition gallery. Contact the museum before visiting to discuss which areas you can use.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Under-13s have free admission under the current published policy. The museum lists quizzes, dressing up, hands-on activities and a piracy area; ask which are available on your date.
Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
