WE ARE OPEN! Jane managed to get to the museum. Well done Jane! We will stay open until lunchtime at least.

FLOODING on numerous roads leading to Arreton Barns may disrupt normal operations at the glass museum today. Opening hours may be reduced or we may have to close entirely. Our colleague Jane is bravely venturing out to check the situation and will report back. #flooding #arreton
