Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life has been located in Carlisle Castle since 1932 but in 2014, with the help of Heritage Lottery Funding, it was moved from the Inner Ward to Alma block in the Outer Ward. Covering over 300 years of military history the Museum tells the stories of the 34th Regiment of Foot, the 55th Regiment, King’s Own Royal Border Regiment and even the current serving Regiment, The Duke of Lancaster’s. The Museum now reinforces the strong links between Cumbria’s regiments and the local community, and shares the remarkable stories of courage, loyalty and service. Their Museum will continue to be an important source of information for former soldiers and their families, historians and family history researchers. By reaching out to schools and colleges, they help to keep the memories alive for future generations.

Onsite (at the museum): £2.50 per pupil per workshop. Outreach (in school): £65 per workshop (plus travel costs)
