Libraries and museums opening hours consultation

We need to review the opening hours of our library services, museums and Pontefract Castle. The funding we’re receiving from the Government isn’t keeping up with how much it costs to run the services.

You can help inform our decisions by filling in a survey. It won’t take long, but sharing your views will make a difference.
