How to get to Pontefract Museum

We are currently creating our next feature exhibition in the temporary gallery. This means the temporary gallery space is closed and there may be some noise. While we will try to keep this noise to a minimum, some will be unavoidable.

The rest of the museum is open as normal during this time.

The exhibition ‘Oh, Yes it is! 75 years of the St Giles with St Mary’s Pantomime Society’ will open on Monday 18 November 2024.

  • The museum is located a few minutes’ walk from the town centre.

    Public Transport:

    Pontefract Museum is a 3-minute walk from Pontefract Bus station, 9-minute walk from Pontefract Baghill Rail Station, 12-minute walk from Pontefract Tanshelf Rail Station and 14-minute walk from Pontefract Monkhill Rail Station. For details about local buses and trains please see Metro.
