Whimple Heritage Centre

The Whimple Heritage Centre is a small museum in the heart of Devon cider country.

For nearly 100 years, from 1891, the headquarters of Whiteway’s Cyder Company was in Whimple. A significant proportion of our collection is related to Whiteway’s and the history of cider-making more generally – including the famous Whimple Wassail. The displays relate mainly to the social history of Whimple during the twentieth century, with a small display about Whimple’s most well-known resident, Ann Hogarth, the Muffin the Mule puppeteer.

We are an entirely volunteer run organisation dedicated to preserving the history of Whimple for future generations.
