Summer is almost upon us, and we know you're all counting down the days until we reopen the doors.  

Staff and building contractors are working incredibly hard to make sure the new experience is completely right. Sometimes things take a bit more time than expected, and we're now planning to have our grand reopening in autumn 2024. This will be complete with a spruced up welcome area, all-new ground-floor gallery, community studio, shop and café.

But fear not (and be just) football fans, the Backing the Blues exhibition, being curated with CUFC, will open on 20 July in our exhibition gallery. And Sunday opening is back, baby!  For now, it’ll only be Backing the Blues that will be accessible, as we'll need to keep the rest of the museum closed off so we can continue working. Think of this as a pre-season friendly. There will also be a pop-up shop, coffee and cake to keep you fuelled, and a summer full of classic Tullie activity.  

In summary:

20 July - Backing the Blues exhibition opens.  

Autumn 2024 - Full Tullie experience is open with all new and improved spaces.
