The Museum of English Rural Life is one of the best things to do in Reading. Whether on your own or with friends and family, discover our new immersive galleries, research our collections, refresh in our café and relax in our garden. Admission is free. The museum houses the most comprehensive national collection of objects, books and archives relating to the history of food, farming and the countryside. The museum galleries and garden were recently redeveloped thanks to Heritage Lottery funding.

A museum that is interesting, informative and educational, suitable for all age groups and best of all admission is free. The story of English rural life is told through a wide range of exhibits from horse drawn wagons large and small, early steam and petrol vehicles agricultural impliments, and items used by country folk in everyday life. For younger visitors there are a number of excellent interactive exhibits. Those of a certain age will recall childhood countryside days out and holidays. The only downside is that parking is very limited so best travel by public transport.

Tucked away on the edge of a housing estate, on the fringes of a country park, this museum is a hidden gem. It doesn’t have the attention grabbers, like Spitfires and Hurricanes, but it does have a wealth of exhibits and information about some of the lesser known ‘greats’ of British aviation. It is staffed by volunteers, who have a real passion for their subject, and £3.50 per adult entrance fee doesn’t seem enough. Well worth a visit.
