Hi Mark, Assistance dogs are always welcome to the Centre, and all dogs are welcome to our entrance (which services as the Visitor Information Centre). However, we're unable to let other dogs tour the museum for conservation issues with many of the objects. As a felow dog lover, I'm sorry for this, but I hope this doesn't stop yourselves from visiting the Centre some time soon. Please get in touch if there are any further questions I can help you with. All the best, Mark

Hi Joanna D, Whilst we don't have any parking at the Centre, there is ample short and long-stay parking nearby. I've included a link below. Appletongate is close, and recommended for wheelchair users. We do advise the Riverside Carpark, however, as it is much cheaper, but also gives you a nice walk into town, past the castle, medieval church and historic market square--kicking your visit to Newark off in historic style! newark-sherwooddc . gov .uk / carparks / carparks Our own costs and opening hours can be found on our website (link provided) nationalcivilwarcentre . com / visitus / openingtimesandprices Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, do get back to me. All the best, Mark

Hi Rosanna, We don't have a cafe... at the moment! We’re merging with the Palace Theatre (next door) at the end of this year. This will create a brand new space, integrating the two buildings’ offer. This vision includes a Café which has been tendered for, and promises fantastic cakes—I hope you approve! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Mark
