Best places: Historical societies in United Kingdom

👍👍 The Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall is best known as the headquarters of the Apprentice Boys of Derry but there is much more behind the doors of what is affectionately known as “The Mem”. As well as the Apprentice Boys meeting rooms there are meeting rooms for both the Orange Order and the Women’s Or...

Castle and Black Watch regiment museum, former Earls of Kinnoull residence dating from 16th century.

Historical ruins of a 13th-century Augustinian convent, with guided walks by prior arrangement.

Farm animals, rare breeds and exotic species, plus train/tractor/pony rides and a pottery studio.

👍👍 This place is incredibly interesting. I had been told that it was expensive at £25 for an annual ticket but I think that this is amazing value as there are no further charges once you are inside. My favourite experience was the submarine but the rope manufactury runs that a good second. Not to menti...

3,500 year-old archaeological site with Bronze age causeway remains and reconstructed round houses.

Military museum & research center showcasing weapons, artifacts, medals, flags & more.

Playful waterside destination with a carousel, kiddie rides & carnival games, plus shops & eateries.

👍 The venue itself for a gig is excellent, but the bar prices - ridiculous! On a par with a football ground, it's really that bad. We were queueing for a looooong time to get in and the set up is a bit confusing but if you're not bothered about being in the mosh pit, head for the balcony - we had a gr...

Seasonal attraction with aviation relics, uniforms & memorabilia from the Battle of Britain & WWII.

Established in 1961, this museum features exhibits & artifacts related to aviation in Cumbria.

👍👍 Cheap entrance, £3.50 per adult n kids go free........ Very interesting & informative..... Loved all the hi de hi exhibits.. Find childhood memories

👍 A nice little place full of history and news about Gainsborough, especially the old Marshalls tractor factory and Roses packaging company. These two displays take up most of the ground floor and if you were to read and study all the information on display about them you'd need an hour or two. Upstai...

👍👍 What a fantastic and very interesting place if you are into your history.

Exhibitions mark the birth of the business revolution formed here with the rise of co-operatives.

👍👍 Had a fantastic walk around this afternoon. The kids loved the Halloween trail while I soaked up the history and archaeological finds. We had a delicious lunch which included mummy sausage rolls. A lovely visit to this family run business.

👍👍 A total joy – so much to see and take in in this treasure trove of a mid-18c tall terraced house: fascinating story of the life of someone I should have known about, but hadn't realised linked in with so many key creative figures of the late-19c Arts and Crafts world. Charming, enthusiastic and hug...

👍👍 Great little museum with some really interesting social history elements. The small Howard Carter room is super and poses some interesting and thoughtful questions. Volunteers really helpful and gave our children a trail to complete as well as things for the journey home

Museum devoted to the Arts and Crafts designer, including textiles and a working printing press.
