We’re getting in the festive mood!  As well as our own Christmas Shopping Weekend on 16 and 17 November, find us at the Amersham-on-the-Hill Christmas Festival on Saturday 30 November, with a stall inside St Michael and All Angels Church.  Our Art Club are also decorating a Christmas tree as part of the Church’s celebrations.  And Anthony the Mobile Museum will be playing his now-traditional role as Santa’s Grotto!

On Friday 6 December, we’ll be open late as part of Old Amersham’s Christmas event.

The Museum will open normal hours until Sunday 8 December, and then opens on the following weekend 14/15 December.  Our shop is open 10am to 2pm on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 December for all your last minute present needs!

Our exclusive jigsaws showing Amersham Old Town, and the Museum’s garden, make a great present, and we also stock a full range of local history books, including our own publications about our herb garden, and Women at War by Alison Bailey telling the fascinating stories of local women during the First World War period.

“Enjoyed our visit to this wonderful interactive museum where you are positively encouraged to touch things!”

“Visited Amersham museum yesterday – lovely place, provides many details on the history of the place. Plenty of cute cafes, pubs and shops around also… not difficult to find free parking nearby. ”

“A well-run, informative and interesting small museum on the main street. It’s mostly volunteer-run and they do a great job in keeping it and making you feel welcome…Check out the herb garden too.”

“Enjoyable film and television location guided walk around Amersham hosted by Amersham Museum – here are the Sun Houses on Highover Park and further up the hill is High & Over.”
