In line with Government advice on avoiding non-essential social contact, Hartlepool Borough Council has taken the decision to close the Museum of Hartlepool and cancel all events/activities taking place until further notice.

This decision has been made in the best interests of customers and staff, and while we are sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause, we are sure you will appreciate that we have a responsibility to try to minimise the spread of Coronavirus.

We thank you for your patience and understanding at this challenging time.

We will continue to review the situation in line with future Government guidance and will issue updates as appropriate.
