Bruce Castle Museum
Building works (external and internal) at Bruce Castle
Over the past six months there have been important and essential renovation building works carried out to the external fabric of the Grade 1 listed Bruce Castle. Exterior works are still being finalised during October 2018.
Additional internal works will also be carried out periodically during this time.
Bruce Castle will be open as usual as per the advertised opening hours for the Museum Service and the Searchroom for Haringey Archive Service - see below for details.
Please note: to accommodate the internal works, there will be times when some areas of the building will be closed to the public, therefore booking for the Archive Service in the Searchroom and for Schools’ Workshops is essential.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
