Plans to introduce charging for winter visitors at Thetford's Ancient House Museum

20:08 Feb 8 2015 Thetford, Norfolk, East of England, England, United Kingdom

Description
Plans to charge for entry to one of Thetford’s flagship museums have been called “extremely short-sighted” amid fears it will stop the less wealthy accessing the town’s heritage.

Norfolk County Council is looking to charge visitors to the Ancient House Museum during the winter months in a move it says will make £3,000.

Visitors can currently enter the museum for free from October to March.

If the change is approved, adult visitors will pay £3.95 to enter the museum, and children £2.30 from this coming October.
