VISITOR numbers at Barnsley Museums have reached an all-time high this year, increasing by 28 per cent.
Across all venues, 1,467,938 people paid a visit to local attractions.
Lynn Dunning, head of Barnsley Museums, said: “Our museums are great not just great for days out but are the cornerstone for many communities.
“Our venues are free to enter and we have lots to offer no matter what your age or tastes, so if you haven’t been to see us yet we would love for you to come along.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
