2008 The Trustees are proud to have been awarded a grant from the HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND to purchase the neighbouring building (17 Newbegin) and display the whole of the ground floor of 15 and 17 Newbegin with the Hornsea pottery collection, so that it will be under one roof. The upper floor will be used to improve the storage facilities and provide a Collections Management office.

This means that the Educational programme will be expanded into Swallow cottage, where there will be a dedicated education space next to the schoolroom.

Easter Opening  from Good Friday.  Opening hours 11 - 5p.m. Tues - Saturday.

Sundays 2 - 5 p.m.    Open Bank Holiday Mondays.
