Known issues
The Heritage and Education Centre is only open for pre-booked visits on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 to 15:00, which can be inconvenient for some visitors. It is essential to book in advance by phone or email to secure a spot. Additionally, the centre is not widely advertised, so many local residents may be unaware of its existence. Information about the centre can be found on the official website and local event listings. Despite these challenges, the centre offers a valuable educational experience, and planning ahead can ensure a successful visit.
