Nearly £1m of restoration work is taking place at Bruce Castle Museum and Archive

Bruce Castle Museum is now closed until next year to allow essential works to take place.

Haringey Council is undertaking a restoration programme costing almost £1million to enhance residents and visitors’ access to the Grade 1-listed building’s unique and fascinating collection as well as transform an 18th Century room into a new public space for community use and exhibitions.

Other on site improvements include improving accessibility, repairing historic fabric, making fire protection upgrades and addressing and stabilising structural issues.

Bruce Castle Museum and Archive staff are now working remotely until 6th January and are contactable via phone (020 8489 4250 – option two) and email ([email protected]) during this period.
