The Barn Museum in Abbey Fields is closed until next Easter (image supplied)

Kenilworth's barn museum is celebrating another successful year.

Despite opening late this year because of electrical problems, the Abbey Fields centre had more than 1,200 visitors in 2026.

There were a number of new exhibits including a trebuchet ball and a 'Young Explorers' table for children.

The new 'Kenilworth Revealed' app for exploring the Abbey was also hailed as a great success.

Among the many appreciative comments from visitors were: 'A lovely welcoming museum in beautiful surroundings', 'friendly helpful volunteers – great for children', and 'lovely place, lovely staff'.

The museum is run by the Kenilworth History & Archaeology Society and is now closed until next Easter Sunday (28 March 2027).
