Seating is available throughout the museum's atrium, where the ground floor cafe offers a variety of ethically sourced drinks, including coffee and tea, dark cocoa hot chocolate, Flawsome apple juice, Remedy kombucha, Heartsease Farm elderflower presse, and San Pellegrino soft drinks.

We've partnered with Caravan coffee roasters, known for their commitment to ethical sourcing and creating approachable blends since 2010. Their dedication to sustainability and quality earned them the 2023 Retailers Retailer Sustainability Award.
