Cogges Manor Farm Museum is now closed to all users. It was hoped that the 2010 season will be operated by a new independent management trust. But it has now been announced that Cogges MAnor Farm Museum will not open during 2010. A date for re-opening has not been announced. There will be a number of small scale, pre-booked, schools and community learning events.
The Cogges project board was set up to secure a long-term sustainable future for Cogges Manor Farm Museum as a site of local and national significance.
The project also aims to:
meet the council’s financial plan
continue to care for the ancient monument and listed buildings
retain public access to the site and ensure that it is an attractive place to visit offering a high quality experience to visitors
maintain the integrity and atmosphere of the site
maintain the collections on site to professional standards
retain a level of heritage interpretation
ensure the site is used effectively as an educational resource
comply with the Conservation Statement

This is an absolutely brilliant places to take the kids. Hands on activities, friendly well informed staff, and a realistic feel for victorian britain farming.

Regular activities include demonstrations of:

•	handmilking
•	feeding the pigs
•	buttermaking (on most Sunday afternoons)
•	work of the Victorian maids in the Manor House

Cogges Manor Farm Museum can be found on Church Lane, Witney, Oxfordshire.
