Ely Museum and The Stained Glass Museum – Group Visit Experience
The Stained Glass Museum
Experience the beauty and radiance of stained glass at the UK’s only dedicated museum. Displayed at eye level, our gallery offers a unique opportunity to view examples of stained glass spanning more than eight centuries. Featuring rescued stained glass from a variety of secular and sacred buildings across the country, the museum is a real hidden gem.
Groups (10+ people) are eligible for discounted admission. Enhance your group visit and find out more about this fascinating art form with a bespoke guided tour. We offer a variety of tours – from short introductions, to curatorial tours and even behind-the-scenes tours. Tours can be tailored or themed to group interests – covering a variety of topics related to art, history and architecture. To find out more and book guided tours for groups, please visit https://stainedglassmuseum.com/groups or email visits@stainedglassmuseum.com.
Ely Museum
Come and explore the heritage of Ely and the surrounding fens, from the prehistoric creatures who swam in the ancient oceans, to Ely today. Find out about how the unusual landscape has shaped the lives of the people who lived here. Recently refurbished galleries, interactive displays and a delightful gift shop offer a perfect introduction to your visit to Ely.
We are pleased to welcome pre-booked group visits to Ely Museum. For groups of more than 10, the admission price is discounted. Bespoke guided tours can be arranged to suit group interests, including curator-led and architectural tours. Email admin@elymuseum.org.uk to enquire about booking.
Large Groups including Coach Visits
For large groups we can offer a range of guided or self-guided tours of Ely’s main attractions including Oliver Cromwell’s House, Ely Cathedral, The Stained Glass Museum and Ely Museum.
To make the whole experience easier for Group and Tour Organisers and their customers we’ve worked with the above four attractions to create “The Ely Experience” – a one price ticket for all four.
Check out The Ely Experience for more information.
For all other enquiries including walking tours please contact us for further information and prices.
If you are bringing a coach to visit us, please refer to our coach parking information in Plan Your Journey section.
Smaller Groups
All of our guided tours and walks can be tailor made for smaller groups and can therefore benefit from group rate reductions (a minimum number may apply in some cases).
Please contact us to see how we can accommodate your visit.
Social or Corporate Gatherings
Again, all our guided tours and walks can be made available for social or corporate gatherings and events including providing meeting venues and refreshments if applicable. These can be for just a few hours during the day or evening or for full days if required. We can even work with you to plan a weekend of activities. We have various additional packages available including Escape Room and even Murder Mystery Evenings.
