Welcome to the Joseph Banks Centre

Welcome to the Sir Joseph Banks Society

OPENING HOURS TO EASTER 2024: Our usual winter opening hours are 10 am to 4 pm Thursday, Friday & Saturday. However we currently have issues with volunteer illness. To avoid disappointment we strongly advise that before visiting the centre you ring to confirm that we will be open, especially if you are travelling long distances. The number to ring is 01507 700 012. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

We have recently changed our legal status to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation,(CIO) enabling us to expand our work, to own property and to undertake other activities not possible for an unincorporated organisation. The CIO has a separate legal entity, so we have a new registered charity number. The new constitution and registration certificate can be viewed here.

Online Exploration

Work in ProgressWe warmly welcome visitors to the Joseph Banks Centre; whilst also recognising that for many of our overseas members this is not feasible.Β  As an alternative, in partnership with the University of Lincoln*, we offer this online 360Β° tour of the Centre. You can explore, view the public spaces and take a sneak preview behind the scenes. Please note that this is very much a Work in Progress, we continue to add ‘Hot Spots’ that will enable site visitors to gather more information about individual exhibits in the Centre.

Lincoln Conservation logo* The Joseph Banks Centre would like to express our appreciation to Lincoln Conservation (part of the University of Lincoln), for this 360Β° tour and associated training on the Matterport software used to create the tour and hot spots.
