Your Visit
Visitors are central to all that we do at Salisbury Museum. The museum prides itself on the quality of our customer service and our commitment to offering access to all. If there is anything we can do to aid your visit do not hesitate to get in touch.

Admission Prices
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on our admissions income to support the running costs of the museum and appreciate your support in paying what you can.

*Donation admissions can be tax effective if given under Gift Aid. They are approximately 10% greater than the standard entry fee to enable Salisbury Museum to treat the whole amount paid as a donation and reclaim tax on the total. This amounts to an extra 25% – potentially a very significant boost to museum funds.
Please sign a Gift Aid declaration if you are a UK taxpayer. Please be aware that you need to have paid or will pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax for the current year that is at least equal to the amount of tax we claim on your donation. Other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. You need to take into account Gift Aided donations that you make to other charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs in any financial year and it is your responsibility to pay any shortfall in tax.
If you are not a UK tax payer or you do not wish to make a voluntary donation, then you must pay the standard charge
