Group visits
Self-guided group bookings are open. We look forward to welcoming you.
Group size
We accept small groups of up to 25 people for a free, self-guided visit of the Museum. Please select a timeslot and number of people in your group. On the day of your visit, please split in smaller groups to visit the galleries. We recommend groups of approximately 10-12 people to avoid overcrowding in our small gallery spaces.

Cafe closure
We are getting in touch ahead of your Group Booking to the museum later this year.
Our café, Molly’s Bar & Kitchen, will sadly be closing from 12 May 2025. But there are plenty of great options in the neighbourhood - such as on Kingsland Road, Hackney Road and Hoxton Street—all less than five minutes away.
If you had a booking at Molly’s, or were planning to stop at our café as part of your visit, please feel free to get in touch at bookings@museumofthehome.org.uk and we can share our local recommendations.
Museum of the Home and our award-winning shop remain open as usual, and your Group Booking is not affected.
Thank you for your understanding,
Museum of the Home team
