Clitheroe Castle
Clitheroe Castle Heritage Scheme
The £3.5million new-look museum was recently opened by His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester after a two-year refurbishment funded by Ribble Valley Borough Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund, SITA Trust, North West Development Agency and several private and public sector partners.
During the opening, His Royal Highness met civic dignitaries, council and museum staff, sponsors, trustees and the scheme's "unsung heroes."
Clitheroe Castle has dominated the Ribble Valley skyline since its construction in the 12th Century by Robert de Lacy to protect the administrative centre of his vast estates.
The refurbishment features a glass atrium linking the museum and North West Sound Archives on two levels, a café, exhibition space, interactive display facilities, education suite and several multi-media exhibitions depicting the history of Ribble Valley.
The Clitheroe Castle Museum Complex is owned by Ribble Valley Borough Council and run by Lancashire County Council's museum service. The museum is open from noon to 4pm from November until 31 March, and from 11am to 5pm from April until October 31.
