The Almonry Heritage Centre is open
from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm,
Monday to Saturday and 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm on Sundays. The Almonry closes only for two weeks round Christmas and New Year.
The Almonry Heritage Centre has a "Simon de Montfort
Room" dedicated by the Speaker of the House of Commons in 1965 as part of
the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of earl Simon's death at the
Battle of Evesham. The room concentrates more on the final months of
earl Simon's life, and on his death, than the earlier years. It is
currently (2005) undergoing an extension renovation and includes new
exhibits including an axe head of the period recovered from the river silt
at Dead Man's Ait.
