Kids Go Free At Stockport Museums

Children under 16 can enjoy free entry to all Stockport Council Museums when accompanied by a paying adult from 1st April 2014.

All Council Museums are already family-friendly and by introducing ‘Kids Go Free’ it will make visiting these venues an even more attractive way of spending a day out with the family.

Council run museums include Hat Works Museum, Air Raid Shelters, Staircase House, Bramall Hall, Stockport Story Museum, Chadkirk Chapel and Stockport Art Gallery.

Councillor Iain Roberts, Stockport Council’s Executive Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, said: “We have a fantastic variety of museums in Stockport which make for great family days out. I’m delighted that we are now able to offer free entry for under 16s accompanied by a paying adult. I hope that this will encourage people to visit our wonderful attractions and learn about all what Stockport’s Museums have to offer.”

Admission charges to Stockport Council Museums are also changing from 1st April to encourage more visits by families, make it better value for visitors who enjoy coming to more than one museum and also to cater for people who wish to make unlimited repeat visits to its museums throughout the year.
