The venue
Located at the heart of the beautiful, historic coastal market town of Lymington, St Barbe is both a dynamic local history museum and highly regarded art gallery.
The venue is 5 minutes walk from Lymington Town railway station, and has bike racks at the side of the building through the gates off Old School Lane. A transport guide including bus map is available here: https://documents.hants.gov.uk/passenger-transport/newforest-travelguide.pdf.
If coming by vehicle, up to three hours parking is available at the Pay and Display in Emsworth Road, with accessible parking close to the museum, but if you're with us for the whole day follow Emsworth Road round to Barfields Car Park for long stay parking.
Access
St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery has ramp access to the side of the building for wheelchairs. Please call 01590 676969 to discuss your individual needs and St Barbe will be happy to help.
