Sally Lunn's Museum is a small museum located in the historic city of Bath. It is housed in the oldest building in Bath, which dates back to the 15th century. The museum tells the story of Sally Lunn, a French Huguenot baker who came to Bath in the 18th century and created the famous Sally Lunn bun.

The museum is located on the ground floor of Sally Lunn's restaurant, which is still in operation today. Visitors to the museum can see the original kitchen where Sally Lunn baked her buns, as well as a variety of other historical artifacts, such as baking equipment, recipes, and advertising materials.

Shop frontage with blue-painted bow panelled window and sign with date 1680.

The museum also has a number of interactive exhibits, where visitors can learn more about the history of baking and the Sally Lunn bun. For example, there is an exhibit where visitors can try their hand at making their own Sally Lunn bun, and there is another exhibit where visitors can learn about the different ways that Sally Lunn buns were eaten in the past.

The museum is free to enter for children and OAPs, and for all guests who take refreshment at the restaurant. The museum is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm weekdays and Sunday and 10:00am to 6:00pm on Saturdays, seven days a week.

In addition to the museum, Sally Lunn's is also a popular restaurant and tearoom. Visitors can enjoy a variety of dishes made with Sally Lunn buns, such as the traditional Bath bun with butter, or the more adventurous savory bun with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Sally Lunn's also serves a variety of other dishes, such as traditional English breakfasts, afternoon tea, and evening meals.

Whether you are interested in history, food, or simply want to experience a unique Bath institution, Sally Lunn's is a must-visit.

Disabled access: Sally Lunn’s is an old building and was not designed for disabled visitors. However, works undertaken in 1998 have enabled Sally Lunn's to ensure some wheelchair access to the ground floor refreshment room. At busy times it is suggested that you call in advance and anything that can be done to facilitate a smooth and simple visit will be done. The toilets remain at first floor level and there sadly there is nothing that can be done to improve this. The kitchen museum is in the cellar down a dozen or so stone steps.
