About Erewash Museum

Erewash Museum service

Erewash Museum is our very own local and social history museum located on High Street, Ilkeston.

Home for the Museum is a late Georgian house with Victorian extensions. It was both a family home and school accommodation before becoming a museum in the 1980's.

Many original features survive and visitors can enjoy the garden with unrivalled views across the Erewash Valley.
Admission to the museum is free.

The Museum is open all year from January to December inclusive - Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Bank Holidays (except Christmas and New Year) 10am to 4pm.

The last entry is at 3.30pm.

Watch out for extended opening, advertised when applicable (school holidays for example, Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm).
