Westbury Manor Museum: closure update
In December 2023, Hampshire Cultural Trust informed Fareham Borough Council of its intention to withdraw from the operation of Westbury Manor Museum on 31 December 2024. Hampshire Cultural Trust currently operates Westbury Manor Museum on behalf of Fareham Borough Council.
Westbury Manor closed to the public on Monday 4 November. As Hampshire Cultural Trust works towards handing Westbury Manor back to Fareham Borough Council on 31 December 2024, the closure is necessary so that we can undertake work to document, clean and complete the safe removal of the delicate objects on display. We have a duty of care to our visitors, staff and volunteers, and the process of removing the objects cannot be undertaken safely while the museum is open to the public.
More information about the closure of Westbury Manor Museum, and what will happen to the objects that are currently on display, is available in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
