The Fusilier Museum

The Fusilier Museum tells the story of the Lancashire Fusiliers — and, by extension, the story of Bury itself. Inside the bright, modern galleries you’ll find medals, uniforms, letters, and personal stories spanning 300 years of service and sacrifice. But it’s more than a museum — it’s a living archive of local lives, shaped by bravery and community. The team here have a gift for storytelling, making even military history feel human and relatable. The museum also hosts art exhibitions, talks, and remembrance events, with a cafe that’s worth a visit in its own right (proper tea and generous cake slices). Accessibility is good throughout, and the venue has built strong partnerships with local schools and community groups. LGBTQ+ visitors will find a welcoming, thoughtful space that acknowledges diverse experiences within military history. It’s a place to learn, reflect, and feel connected — to Bury’s past and to the people who keep its stories alive.
