Rushden Museum will be opening on 31 July, 2021 at 2 p.m. Our exhibition for this year is entitled “One Thing Leads to Another,” and there is also a display by Osborne’s Sports and Toys relating the history of the shop and the life of Jim Osborne.
Our normal opening times of Saturday and Sunday 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. will apply for the rest of the season, ending on the last weekend in October.

Although the Covid restrictions should be lifted by then, we must still be cautious and for that reason we will be operating a one-way system with entry through the main door and exit through the rear door. As the space in the museum is limited our staff and volunteers will be wearing masks, and we are asking our visitors to do the same.
We look forward to meeting everyone again.
