Topsham Museum
We look forward to welcoming new and returning visitors to our beautiful Museum, tearooms and garden when we re-open on March 29th 2023. The covers are coming off, the collection is in tip top condition, and we are looking forward to welcoming regular, and new visitors to the Museum.
If you’ve never ventured down to the Strand to see our Museum, come and see what’s inside our magnificent 17th century building, including our 2023 Exhibition about Dick Pym the local fisherman who became an FA cup winning footballer. Enjoy a cream tea in our beautiful garden or inside in the Tea Room and look for that special gift in our shop.
