Rural North Lincolnshire comes to life in displays such as the tenant farmer’s kitchen and backyard and the saddler’s and blacksmith’s workshops. Little farmers will love the under-five play area.

To mark the rebranding of the Farming Museum, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019, Yorkshire based sculptor David Appleyard has been commissioned to make a new outdoor kinetic sculpture responding to the collections on display.

The Rural Life Museum is open daily throughout the Summer season from 10.00am to 4pm.
