Dunster Memorial Hall is home to the recently refurbished Dunster Museum, where you can explore the amazing history of this beautiful medieval Exmoor village.

It also houses Dunster’s renowned Doll Collection, one of the largest public collections of dolls in the UK, with hundreds on display, dating from the early 19thC to the present, and from all around the world.

On the stage area at the rear of the Hall you will find our activities area – have a go at stamping your own tile pattern or creating your own coat of arms, drawing your favourite doll or completing one of our quizzes.
