Museums and heritage

Vivacity is an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status. We manage many of Peterborough’s most popular culture and leisure facilities on behalf of Peterborough City Council.

Peterborough and its surrounding area has a rich history and heritage which tells a fascinating story. Whether you call Peterborough home, live nearby, or are just visiting, you can explore it in lots of different ways.

You can visit our historic sites and discover amazing artefacts, enjoy a historically themed tour, take in a talk, or get spooked on a ghost walk. Maybe even come along and take part in one of the many heritage events the city hosts every year. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

Vivacity’s museums & heritage service operates from two sites, the historic city centre Museum and the Bronze Age Flag Fen site.
