Refreshments

'Eat and Drink at London Road is a newly refurbished University cafe next door to the Museum, providing hot and cold drinks and meals and snacks. A choice of children's meals and highchairs are available.

Open 10am to 3pm during University vacation and until late during term time (see here for term dates).

Tea and biscuits at the Museum can be arranged for a small charge when booking a group visit. Please ask for details when you book.

 

 

*The MERL car park can usually accommodate visitor cars as required, particularly at weekends, although it does fill up when there is a special event or meeting being held at the Museum. You can call in advance to check if there is likely to be a problem on the day of your visit. Additional parking is sometimes available on Acacia Rd adjacent to the Museum but visitors will need to collect a University parking permit from reception.

As we are so close to the hospital, free on street parking outside the Museum on Redlands Road is very limited and is restricted to 2 hours.
