The museum is housed in a Listed mid-Georgian building with costume and jewellery, furniture, glass and ceramics displays and a local, social and industrial history gallery. Temporary special and touring exhibitions are regularly shown in a renovated stable block and coach house. The museum features mainly British toys from 1900 to the present-day. The museum was winner of the 1995 National Heritage Shoe String Awards for achieving the best results with limited resources.
