The Thimble Guild Museum



Why not come to visit the Thimble Guild Museum here at our headquarters in Biggar?The museum houses an impressive collection of over 7000 thimbles, including a sample of every thimble ever sold over the years plus contributions from visitors and suppliers. Every thimble has a story behind it but here are just a few examples to give you an idea of what you will see:

Berlin Wall Thimble - a piece of the actual Berlin Wall diamond cut into the shape of a thimble 1998.

Solid Gold & Ruby Thimble - designed by James Swann for the Queens 40th accession to the throne.

Agateware thimbles by Tony Bouchet, who now only sells his thimbles in Jersey.

And of course, the thimble which started The Thimble guild, an 80th birthday thimble for the late Queen Mother.

 

Take your time to browse through our large selection of thimbles, which include Meissen, hand painted Russian, Silver, Commemoratives, Pewter, Wooden, Jade, Agateware and much much more. We also have a selection of thimbles on offer for sale so you could perhaps pickup a bargain during your visit.

 

The museum is open Monday to Friday (and Saturdays by arrangement) from 09.30 to 16.30 hr.  Admission is Free. Please contact customer services for more information should you wish to book a visit. We look forward to meeting you!
