Watford Museum has been awarded a ‘VisitEngland’ rosette for being a ‘Quality Assured Visitor Attraction’.
The coveted accolade is awarded to visitor attractions that, after being independently assessed, are found to have exceptional facilities and service levels.
The museum has been a proud staple of the Watford community since 1982 and is housed in the historic Benskins Brewery. Telling the story of Watford past and present, it has displays of local history, industry and archaeology. These include Watford at War, Print and Brewing and a display on Watford Football Club. It hosts regular comedy and music nights, a range of innovative and artistic events and workshops making it an unparalleled destination for creatives.
Sarah Priestley, Watford Museum Curator, said: “We are delighted about the award, it is a huge honour and it is always important to us as a team to provide a warm welcome to all of our visitors.”
Elected Mayor of Watford, Peter Taylor, said: “The Watford museum is a great asset to our town and provides so much for our community. This year alone they have been played a vital role in our Centenary events, hosting a Windrush Day and Dementia Action Week event. I am so proud of our Watford Museum team for winning this award and want to congratulate them on this great achievement.”
