Newark Millgate Museum is the hub of our award winning museum service. We provide a rich and varied programme of children’s activities, events, exhibitions and entertainment inside our own premises or out and about in the community. We are also in the process of developing a project to create a new museum on the Old Magnus Buildings site in Appletongate, Newark.

Step inside our converted Trent Navigation Warehouse building to discover  the nostalgic displays of local trades and industries or wonder at the world of work, wash days, wartime and the wireless. Young people will be fascinated by the “must have” gadgets of previous centuries, the recreated streets, shops and rooms in period settings.

Be inspired by the work showcased in our three galleries, The Mezzanine Gallery, Stage 2 and Art before Coffee. Buy a unique gift from one of our temporary exhibitions artists.

Coffee and gifts

Our coffee shop is one of the cheapest in town, so take a riverside seat, sip your tea and watch the boats and wildlife pass by.

Be tempted by the gift shop's array of goodies for all ages and pockets. We sell books, cards, traditional pocket money toys and a selection of Robert Opie nostalgia. Occasionally we stock hand crafted jewellery, textiles, ceramics and glassware.

Throughout the year we hold children's activities, children's parties and ghost tours.

We have a selection of Discovery Boxes for community groups and schools to borrow.

Our Learning and Outreach team provide fun and curriculum based activities and tours. They will also deal with your research and enquiries at our Resource Centre.
