Visit and workshop

Hygiene standards governing cheese production today mean that it is not possible to visit the modern factory. Unfortunately the layout of the modern premises mean that it is not even possible to look through the windows! 

Yes, if you wish. A guide is always available within the museum. Alternatively you can refer to the information panels, access our website by scanning the QR codes, or listen to the audio guide that is available online for free.

A visit takes approximately 45 minutes, but you can spend as much time as you wish with us.

Ideally you should give yourself 60 minutes to visit the museum, do the cheese tasting, and explore the shop. If you intend to participate in the butter making workshop, this will begin on the hour and take half an hour - and you are free to start the visit to the museum before, and complete it afterwards.

We are obliged to respect norms of health and hygiene with respect to food handling and therefore no animals are allowed on site (with the exception of service and assistance animals).

We offer butter-making workshops without a visit to the museum, but you will need to buy these tickets directly at the museum. There is a reduced tariff for this visit. 

No! However we recommend that you remove jewellery and tie back long hair. 

Yes!  If you arrive without the time to complete the visit and participate in the butter-making workshop, we can arrange for you to split your visit over two days. Simply speak with the member of staff on duty.

To guarantee your place in the butter making workshop, we charge for both activities at the same time. This serves as a deposit to cover the costs of the ingredients we will prepare in advance.
