Somerset Rural Life Museum - Glastonbury
The Somerset Rural Life Museum is based in Glastonbury.  In the Abbey Farmhouse the social and domestic life of Victorian Somerset is described in reconstructed rooms and there is a lively events programme as well as regular temporary exhibitions.  There is also a tea room and museum shop.  

The magnificent fourteenth-century Abbey Barn is the centrepiece of the Museum.  The barn and the farm buildings surrounding the courtyard contain displays and tools used in local rural activities such as mud horse fishing, peat digging and cider making.

Admission to the Somerset Rural Life Museum is free.

Tuesday to Saturday and Bank Holiday Mondays: 10.00am to 5.00pm (Closed on Good Friday)

The café is open from the beginning of April to the end of September.
