On a wet and cold day in the Easter Holidays where better to escape to than the Cumberland Pencil Museum in Keswick. As a teacher I have a thing about pencils and stationary and this museum had something for everyone!! At present the museum is celebrating 175 years of pencil making in the heart of the Lake District. You enter the museum through a replica of the Seathwaite Mine, where graphite was first discovered, then take a journey through the history of pencil making and marvel at the world's longest pencil. You may wish to relax in the coffee shop while the kids (or young at heart) follow the quiz trail and express their creativity in the Drawing Zone. In the video theatre watch how pencils are made today and also get lost in a few clips from the film The Snowman. Treat yourself to many pencil and art related goodies in the fab shop.
Open all year we are an ideal all weather attraction for all the family.
The museum is open all year round
from 9.30am to 5pm daily.
Last admission 4pm.
The museum is closed on:
25th & 26th December and 1st of January.
Prices are around the £3.50 mark for adults and under £2.00 per child.
