Popular North Yorkshire museum - Beck Isle in Pickering - to remain shut for rest of year
Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life in Pickering will not open this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Chairman of trustees Dr Mike Pitt said: "“The Trustees of Beck Isle Museum have taken the difficult decision not to re-open the Museum for the remainder of the season.
2This decision has not been taken lightly. Trustees read the 38-page booklet of Government guidance for re-opening museums and considered the practicalities of applying the guidance to our unique, Grade II* Georgian building. We came to the conclusion that it was not practical to welcome visitors to what is essentially a Georgian house.
