Louth Museum is normally open April to October, Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm.  We re-open on Wednesday 2 April 2025. We continue to respond to emails and queries through the winter.

Would you like to join our great team of volunteers?

The role of a volunteer is varied and exciting, helping to keep Louth Museum running smoothly.  During the open season, most volunteers undertake a weekly 3-hour shift.  If you feel you might like to help or require more information, do contact us.
