Denbigh Museum is an independent museum established by volunteers in 2014 to preserve the heritage of Denbigh.
Though entirely voluntary our museum operates to the highest standards.
It is working towards full museum accreditation status from the Welsh Government. The museum is located in the former magistrates court building and we are currently working on a project to adapt the building and enhance the visitor experience.
The museum is open every Monday and Thursday afternoon between 2pm-4pm and at other times during the year for specific exhibitions. The Community Archive Group also meet at the museum on both afternoons.
We welcome visits by organised groups at any time of the year.

Denbigh Castle's finest feature is its striking triple-towered great gatehouse. Along with over half a mile of town walls, Denbigh Castle is a classic fortress of Edwardian proportions.

Edward I’s successful 13th-century campaign in the region was cemented by the creation of an English borough in Denbigh from 1282 onwards. Henry de Lacy, one of the King’s loyal commanders, was given control of the area and had the task of building the new castle.

Wireless in Wales has been brought together to celebrate Wales’ part in the evolution of radio and radio broadcasting. The museum holds a small but varied collection of radios and information chronologically displaying some rare and also representative radios and memorabilia.
The museum is the result of one man’s dream and vision, David E. Jones. David was a collector of radios for most of his life. Sadly, he passed away a few weeks before fulfilling his dream of opening a Wireless in Wales exhibition and publishing his book on which the exhibition is largely based.
David will be remembered as a gentle man with strong convictions. He campaigned for several causes and his lasting legacy is the establishment of the Welsh language centre in Denbigh in 1990.
Radio collecting was his personal hobby which he integrated with his dedication to Wales and the continuation of the Welsh language. He had a unique and broad vision all of which has been brought together to create the museum and his book Wireless in Wales. The museum and his book stand as a tribute to him.
