Museum and Gardens open for the new season

Welcome back to the Cowper & Newton Museum!

Today is our first day open for the 2024.  We have been busy behind the scenes conserving our collection, renovating, gardening and planning an exciting variety of events.  It’s going to be another busy and exciting year and our Trustees, staff and volunteers are ready to help you discover it all.

‘Historic townhouse, tranquil gardens and some of the greatest stories of the era’

What’s to see?

New exhibition:  ‘Night and Day, costumes from our collections’  (more details to follow)

and..

our 18th century historic site has a kitchen, a parlour, Cowper’s bedroom, rooms dedicated to the story of the Slave Trade and Amazing Grace, rooms about lacemaking and Georgian life.  There’s a dressing up room for all ages to have fun with.  Our shop sells unique gifts, many beautifully handmade by our talented volunteers. Breathe in the aromas of the plants in our Flower Garden and Summer House Garden – a perfect place to relax.  Bring a picnic!  Spend the rest of your visit looking around Olney with it’s beautiful 14th century church, Georgian architecture, nearby country park at Emberton, unique gift and boutique shopping, and a great choice of eating restaurants, cafes and bars.  As Cowper says “Variety’s the very spice of life”!
