Visit Us

Easy to find us

Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery is located at the heart of Alnwick old town, close to the Bailiffgate entrance to Alnwick Castle. There is 4-hour parking on the street outside, and only 0.3 of a mile from the town car parks and bus station. The nearest rail station -Alnmouth- is 4 miles away.

Opening times are 10am - 4pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Note that Bailiffgate closes for our winter maintenance at 3pm on Sunday 13th December and opens again on Tuesday 5th January 2021. Don't forget, however, that there is always lots to look at on our Bailiffgate Collections website

We want you to gain as much as you possibly can from your visit, so feel free to contact us in advance and ask about any particular field of interest you may have.
