The Amelia Scott is a place for meeting, getting help, learning, socialising and volunteering, with a café, libraries, social spaces, museum, temporary exhibitions and council services all under one roof. Books, museum objects, documents, photographs, and visual arts bring alive people’s stories and unexpected tales from Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding area.
Amelia Scott was a pioneering social reformer and a passionate campaigner for women’s suffrage. She lived and worked in Tunbridge Wells, dedicating her life to improving the lives of others. You can learn more about her remarkable legacy in our Welcome Hall. The Amelia Scott continues in the spirit of Amelia’s work – opening up access to culture, learning, and heritage for everyone. Through our collections, services, and events, we aim to bring people together and celebrate the different voices in our community.
