Volunteers needed! We would love to hear from you if you would be interested in researching the lives of people who lived here in the workhouse at Gressenhall, as part of the More Than Oliver Twist project! This role requires candidates to have access to family history research databases from home and the relevant skills to carry out this research. Please feel free to get in touch via: gressenhall.museum@norfolk.gov.uk for more information!

There are always treasures to find!

During our closure we will try our upmost to share new images from the farm for you. For instance, we have to say we udderly adore our three new calves. #FarmFriday

Further to our announcement yesterday that Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse is closed for the forceable future, we want to ensure that people receive a refund for events booked from now until the end of April. To get a refund please contact Beth on bethanie.eaton2@norfolk.gov.uk directly and she will organise that for you as quickly as possible. Best wishes and stay safe everyone.

To protect the welfare of our visitors, volunteers and staff, Norfolk Museums Service have taken the difficult decision to close all sites from Thursday 19 March. Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse will remain closed until further notice. We will continue to update our website and social media with the latest information.

We hope this picture brightens up your day ☀️
