Pay What You Can Sundays

We understand that price can be a barrier to culture for many and so Pay What You Can Sundays are a way of allowing all visitors to come and enjoy The Story Museum from as little as £1 per ticket. It's also an opportunity for some visitors, if they would like to, to pay more than the usual entry price as a way of supporting The Story Museum.

Dates for forthcoming Pay What You Can Sundays

  • Sunday 29 October
  • Sunday 26 November
  • Sunday 28 January

Please note that tickets booked in advance will be charged at the full price. Pay What You Can tickets are only available on the day, at the ticket office and are subject to availability.

For details of times and to book tickets for other events and activities such as our regular children's skills clubs and performances and author events in the Woodshed theatre, visit the Whats On section of the website or browse our July - November 2023 Season Guide and our November - March 2024 Season Guide
