Behind the Scenes at the Museum

Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life is a treasure trove of fascinating objects and quirky artefacts that tell the incredible stories of the people who lived and worked in Mid Devon. Our outstanding collections range from the impressive ‘Tivvy Bumper’ GWR steam engine and local lace-making heritage, to traditional farm waggons, agriculture, and everyday home life. Alongside booking to explore the galleries, you can also book tickets here for our wide programme of events — from illustrated talks and guided walks on local history, to family-friendly holiday activities, toddler sessions, and special event days that bring Mid Devon’s history to life.
