Hexham Abbey

Lovely Abbey well worth a visit with fantastic staff. The Moon exhibition is on until November and only costs £3 for adults and £1 for children. You can buy tickets on line or just pay on arrival. Well worth a visit. They also have a nice cafe serving a good selection of food. Great location right in the centre of a busy market town.

A Beautiful Abbey, full of history. When we visited there was a moon experience on, which was very good. But the Abbey would definitely be worth a visit even without anything else on.

Lovely visit to see the museum of the moon. Beautiful setting and wonderful choir too!Highly recommend

A grand building in the heart of Hexham. Free to go in but you can have a tour which takes in the crypt for £3. Otherwise entry to the crypt is £3. A great place to just wander round and soak in the atmosphere.There is a good display area with the history of the Abbey with interactive displays.There is a cafe on site which has a lovely outside sitting area.Parking in Hexham is via disc. We parked on carpark at the bottom of the hill which has a Waitrose. This is a public car park however you need a disc. Parking is free but there are different coloured parking bays. Depending on how long you want to stop. We got our disc at Waitrose but these discs cover the whole of Northumberland so keep in the car. Access to the town centre was up a steep hill and past some very old buildings including the old jail.

£3 entry and £3 for the crypt entry. Moon exhibition was on, so quite busy. Absolutely fantastic. Well worth the price and well worth visiting. Will go again when quiet. Recommended.

Absolutely stunning abbey, we were lucky enough to visit it when the Moon museum was there, amazing instalment of a exact replica of the moon.Beautiful

This abbey is gorgeous. We went during the 'Moon' showing and wow, it's quite striking. The building itself is intricate and steeped in history. Particularly interesting was going into the crypt - an extra £3 each, very worthwhile! - and a guide even talked us through the history of the crypt, the oldest part of the abbey, before we headed down below. It's definitely worth a visit within this beautiful town. There is plenty of free parking within the town where you can stay up to two hours, you just might have a short walk to the abbey.

A beautiful 12th century abbey church located right in the centre of Hexham. I came here on a day excursion and spent just over an hour here. Admission was £3, and I also bought a handy visitor guide and map for £3. The abbey, which stands on the site of a Saxon church, is steeped in history and very atmospheric. There's much of interest to see from different periods of history including a Roman tombstone, an Anglo-Saxon cross, 15th century painted wooden panels and a frith stool used by medieval fugitives seeking sanctuary. There are also some lovely stained glass windows. The exhibition about the moon was an unexpected bonus, with a fantastic replica of the moon suspended from the ceiling. You get a great view of it from the top of the night stairs close to the entrance. The Saxon crypt is definitely not to be missed! It was locked up when I was there, but for £3 a very friendly lady steward unlocked the gate so that I could take a look inside. The steps leading down to it are steep and uneven (there is a handrail), but the narrow passages and the shrine, built by the Saxons with Roman stones, are well worth seeing. There's a café with outside tables where you can get light meals, a nice gift shop, and an interactive exhibition about the abbey's history that I did not get time to visit but would love to see if I come here again.

Want to see the moon, ?
 Six metres in diameter, the moon has 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface at a scale of 1:600,000 with each centimetre of the sculpture representing 6km of the moon's surface. ⁣⁣⁣It's still on until November 11, if your in the area,My tip is to go when its dark, (better light and it should be quieter )#art #moon #sculpture #hexham #hexhamabbey #museumofthemoon #museumofthemoonhexham
