Bracken Hall Countryside Centre and Museum is a children's museum, natural history education centre and nature centre established in 1989 at Bracken Hall on the edge of Baildon Moor, close to Shipley Glen in West Yorkshire, England.
In 2013 the Bradford Council removed their funding of the museum.[1] The Friends of Bracken Hall worked to gather support in order to reopen the museum, and whilst the centre was planned to re-open in late 2015,[2] it was finally re-opened to the public in April 2016 with the help of Baildon Town Council.[3]
