Court Barn Museum

This is s hidden gem of a museum, at the end of Chipping Campden. Its dedicated to the arts and crafts people who lived in the area. Its small, basically one large downstairs room but has a lot of interesting items and information on them and the makers. There was another small exhibit about the modern day equivalent of this type of work. It's run by volunteers but there was a curator on site if you had questions they couldn't answer. There's a small shop selling items made by local artists and craftspeople. At time of visit it was £7.00 pp (July 2023) this gave you a year tickets and a two for one offer for another local museum.

The Court Barn Museum celebrated the legacy of the prominent artists, designers and craftspeople who moved from the East End of London to Chipping Campden in 1902 to create the present vibrant artist community. Set in an restored barn.

A small exhibition about the short lived craftsmanship school in Chippin Campden and other crafts people who were based in this town.

Haven't actually been in the museum for sometime, though frm memory we enjoyed it. Chipping Camden generally is worth a visit any time. And the 400 year old textiles on display in the church are amazing.

Very interesting museum. Small but well staged in an amazing old barn. Tells the story of local design icons very well using a few of their pieces. Shop is full of locally designed products. Had an extra exhibition as well when we were there.

This is a fantastic small independent museum specialising in the Arts and Crafts Movement in the north Cotswolds. There is also a craft shop selling locally made quality items and cards. The staff are friendly and helpful and the space is very well managed for social distancing.

Small museum, delightfully presented, all about the artists school situated in Chipping Camden. This is a lively spot, and the museum will give you a good 1-11/2 hrs of interesting information on the history of the artist's who set up a community a hundred years ago.

This museum was a truly lovely find. We went to Chipping Campden for a short walking and nature break before the winter started, and decided to go into this museum in between some walks, towards the end of the day. We were offered concessions, because we looked young enough to be students (!), which was quite flattering (though sadly not applicable). The £5 fee was worth it. It has a lovely installation explaining the roots of the Chipping Camden Arts and Crafts Movement (which we previously had no knowledge of), with many examples of stunning craftwork (including woodwork, metalwork, glass and bookbinding) and interactive video displays, which you can either watch standing up or view sitting down at the tables. The whole museum is contained in a beautiful, listed, barn, and remarkabky uses a freestanding wooden structure inside which required no nailing into the walls, commissioned from local crafters. The Covid-secure guidelines were more than adequate. We also received personalised attention and lots of extra history from the museum curator, who clearly loves her work and was willing to engage even stragglers like us. There is also a shop that sells artisanal wares made by locals, with many great pieces sold that support local craftsmanship and art. Really worth a visit and though it looks small, plan for sufficient time to properly enjoy it!
