Current Prices – from 18 May 2021
We plan to reopen Brighton Museum on Tuesday 18 May 2021. See our Covid-19 FAQ for more information. All dates are subject to government guidelines, which may change.
Tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday 9 April 2021. Tickets will initially be released for the period 18 May to 20 June 2021.
Advance booking
We have introduced timed ticket entry and reduced capacity to ensure the safe distancing of visitors inside the museum. Visitors without a booking are welcome providing we have space to admit them.
We encourage online booking but if you need to phone please note that our phone lines are busy during peak hours, so occasionally you may have to wait longer than usual to get through to a member of the team.
For more information on the changes we have made to keep our visitors and staff safe during the Covid-19 pandemic see our Visitor FAQs.
