Horniman Museum & Butterfly House reopens today

From a popup on their website:

Though it looks like their website is yet to be fully updated with more details, the museum & butterfly house will require pre-booked tickets like before.

Tickets have been on sale since December 1st at https://www.horniman.ac.uk/plan-your-visit/ticket-information/, though I guess they are still very popular given the problems they are reportedly experiencing with the online ticketing system.

Does anyone know if you can go to the shop without a ticket?

Hi @HannahM - the shop is open, but I’m told you need a ticket because it is inside the museum.

Thanks. Have booked a ticket and chucked them a tenner (a fraction of what I owe them for providing the Gardens - a saviour in lockdown).

Well I had a lovely time this morning reaquainting myself with the galleries and got some great presents for my dino obsessed nephew.

Just a follow up to say that there is a notice on the Horniman website saying:

“The Butterfly House is currently closed due to the cold weather. Ticket holders will be refunded.”
