We love visiting Preston Park Museum and I am always telling people what great value for money it is at just £15 for a family annual pass. There's quite a bit to do at Preston Park and they usually have seasonal activities on throughout the year.

You can take a look around the gorgeous building, which has been transformed into a museum, there's a Victorian street, you can go into some of the shops and sometimes you will find volunteers there to chat to. Also on the street is a lovely café (the cakes are delicious!) During the warmer months the walled garden is open and it is so worth going to take a look because it is gorgeous!
We visited again this week and renewed our annual pass, as we really wanted to see the Victorian street decorated for Christmas. We didn't really get the full effect as we visited early in the day but it was still pretty. I also wanted to visit the "Behind the Seams" Exhibition.
