Very quaint little museum with frequently changing exhibitions. The staff were all very helpful and the audio guide was very informative. Probably takes no more than an hour to see everything.

Fans aren't just for keeping cool. They can be art! This museum has lots of pretty fans from different places and times. See if you can find the fanciest one.

Small but lovely museum with great display of beautiful items. Comprised of 2 rooms, but don't let it fool you, it's a mine of knowledge about fans! The staff was very friendly and helpful and so easy to talk to! There is also very nice gift shop.

We recently held our wedding ceremony at the Fan Museum’s Orangery. The room is perfect for an intimate wedding and everyone loved it. Sophie has been superb in preparing for the event and made sure everything runs smoothly on the day itself. Thanks a lot for having us. Happy to recommend!

The place is very nice and the people working there are very helpful and friendly. The exhibits on the first floor are also narrated and you can listen about their story and how they’re made.

I absolutely love fans. I'm fans' biggest fan. Doesn't get any better than this. Can't believe I was in touching distance of so many majestic and thought-provoking fans. I hadn't been that excited since I saw the sock exhibition the other week. Awe inspiring.

It was a really beautiful and informative place - it costs a few pounds for a ticket, but it’s worth it and you get a free audio guide tour with it.
There weren’t many people there at the time, but I still had some nice conversations about the fans with two friendly ladies

The theme for this exhibition was 'Coronations and Celebrations'. It was amazing. It was worth going there. The staff members are all very friendly and welcoming. There is also a gift shop, I bought a fan bookmark

FANtastic museum! If you thought like me, that fans are only those made from paper when you were young , then you were very wrong. I was blown away to learn about the history of fans and the variety of these beautiful and elegant masterpieces. The collection has fans made out even from turtle shells or very rare feathers.
Apart from receiving awards from aboard, the museum is linked even to the queen through the fans they provided to her.
The staff is extremely friendly and will assist and answer any question you may have, especially the manager, who is an awesome guy.
They also have an orangery where you can enjoy a cup of tea but you need to book it in advance.
Toilets are free to use.
A small shop will provide exciting souvenirs.
The ticket is only £5 and you will receive a useful audio guide.
