Ware Museum tells the story of life in Ware from prehistoric times to the present day, with fascinating finds spread across four galleries. You can discover Roman remains and Medieval treasures, and step back in time in Ware's World War II Command Centre. There are family events too, such as October Half Term Family Fun, alongside exhibitions like Ware Museum at 40: Stories of People and Place Part 2. The museum relies on donations to remain free to visit and to fund new exhibitions and activities. It's a good stop if you're staying nearby, with Ware station just 0.3 miles away and 17 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
