‘Giving Ryde’s Past to the Future’

Historic Ryde Society Quiz Night Thursday 29 January 2026 at Yelf's Hotel, at 7p.m. for 7.30pm.    The Museum of Ryde will be closed from 20th December 2025 to the 17th February 2026.

Donald McGill is officially open!

Although there is still a little bit of work to do, the Donald McGill saucy seaside postcard museum is now ready for public viewing!

Thanks to a great deal of hard work by James and HRS volunteers, the last few days have been a frantic push to move things forward. This will mean that as from tomorrow, the entrance charge will increase to £3 for two museums in one. This is a soft opening, but there will be an all-singing, all dancing opening once the few remaining tasks have been completed. Watch this space….

Please let family and friends know we’re now fully open for business, and, with the stairlift in place, there’s no excuse!
