We went for the Lunar New Year celebrations and had a great time The Chinese dragon dance and Chinese drums workshop were fantastic. The kids had to do a hunt throughout the museum matching numbers go each animal of the Chinese zodiac, and were gifted a Chinese coin in a red envelope for getting them all right. For the price it's a great visit. Kids go free with a paying adult, and an adult paying fee gets a years entry No additional cost for the Lunar New Year event either
This is an excellent museum, especially the Roman gallery which covers all aspects of their occupation and their culture. Interactive exhibits would certainly keep children engaged. Other galleries include Costume, Vikings in the region, the Border history and flora and fauna. There is also a reasonably priced cafe and shop. Allow at least 2 hours for a visit. Admission is £10 with no reduction for Senior Citizens.
Oh my goodness this is the most amazing museum in Carlisle. As a lover of Hadrian’s Wall and Roman history it had a great diverse range of knowledge about that and the Roman influence in Carlisle. Also has art galleries, other periods of history of Carlisle and the Scottish Borders. It really taught me about Britain’s bloody history. It also has natural history, and art galleries too. There is a café here but I’m sorry to say I found the staff there really miserable looking. A young girl served me two coffees, which I asked for, I thanked her but I didn’t a “you’re welcome” in reply. Good manners cost nothing. However, don’t let that put you off coming here, it’s absolutely brilliant.
We had a brief but wonderful visit to Tullie House. All, and I mean all of the staff and volunteers were amazing, Informative and really helpful. Thanks to all who mad our visit special. We didn't get the opportunity to visit everything but we will be back. Great place :
Whilst in Carlisle for the day, we decided to visit here as it was one the top 10 places to see on Tripadvisor. We were shocked to see how big this place is, it was never ending! We spent a good few hours in here, & definitely could of spent more. There is something for every age, with history from many different years.
Tullie House is absolutely amazing. The collections always change and there is lots to see and do. At the moment it has three Roman galleries/exhibitions. There are more besides including Reiver, Pre-historic, industrial and so on. There is a fabulous cafe there plus interesting gift shop. It really deserves a visit!
It was a pleasure to visit this museum, which has a garden outside that was relaxing to eat my lunch in and the tickets are valid for up to a year after purchase so it is great that I can return for free! There are many informative exhibitions, including displays of artifacts and clothing from eras like the Roman and Victorian ones. Replicas of incident that happened in the past such as the Roman crime scene drew much interest, providing an insight into what it actually looked like back then. I was happy to be able to pick up a mock-up shield and the walls in the museum had very unique designs too, while the art gallery featured aesthetically pleasing work.
This is a fascinating museum and well worth a visit. There is so much to see there and I will certainly make a return visit. The collection ranges from a marvelous selection of Roman artefacts, pre Raphaelite paintings and a fascinating natural history gallery. The guided were all very knowledgeable and made me most welcome.
Had a lovely time here, lovely galleries on King Arthur Pendragon, the Romans, women's costume clothing and art. Gluten free food offerings in the cafe, so plenty for everyone on site. Nice gift shop with gifts at prices to suit all budgets.
I am giving Tullie 3/5 because although the things inside are amazing, it is £30 for 2 people, which is out of budget for most low income people. I think they should offer a discount for students, people on benefits or low income, because the educational things inside the museam are actually of more value to the working class than to rich people who already will have seen those things many times. That's just my own opinion about the price. You can keep that ticket for 1 year so if you live there it isnt a bad deal. The museam part is very interactive, you can try stuff on, do activities, touch things etc. The gallery part had amazing art, but it was borrowed from another gallery that has free entry, so again, wasn't happy about the cost.
