Description
What’s happening at Stockwood? Plans are progressing to transform Stockwood Park Museum into Stockwood Discovery Centre, a visitor and discovery centre with brand new facilities such as a café, shop, extensive gardens, a children’s outdoor area, changing exhibitions, and corporate venue hire. The new centre will have an environmental theme running through it and host the current collections: the Mossman carriages, the biggest museum collection of this kind on display in the UK and fascinating displays about the history of the area including the former Stockwood House.
