Admission to the gift shop is free so you can visit the shop without going round the museum.

We receive numerous compliments about our gift shop as it is so attractive and has such a lovely variety of unusual and inexpensive, but good quality, gifts and books.  We aim to make shopping at the museum a pleasure.

On hand are staff who will be only too happy to help you find that special gift.

The shop has specialist sections on:

• Gilbert White and Selborne, including three different editions of Gilbert White’s book, ‘The Natural History of Selborne’. Sometimes we even have much older collectable editions.
• Lawrence Oates, Frank Oates and the Antarctic
• Natural history
• Gardening
• Cookery
• Toys
• Greetings cards and gift wrap

We also stock a wide selection of books, many of which are at discounted prices.
