Tony,

You could check the website of each venue but IIRC, the Musee Abris is open around 9.30 - 12 and 2 - 6 and open Sat & Sun (I think it is closed Monday). Again IIRC Delville does not shut for lunch and times will be similar (cannot remember if it is closed Sunday or Monday - sorry. Ulster is shut Sunday I think but open all day otherwise. Newfoundland grounds obviously open all the time but the museum I cannot recall. Generally most museums in France close on a Monday.

Not much help really and a bit vague but there you go! ;)

Try to contact Mr Reed, he will know all the times for sure.

Museum in Albert is now on Winter schedule so 9 until 12 then 2 until 6. It is open EVERY day without fail.

Ulster Tower 10 till 5 but is shut on Mondays not Sundays as someone has said.

Delvill Wood - not sur but am pretty convinced they close earlier than everyone else - I remember once being turfed out at 5. Rule of thumb if you're not sure head there about 3pm an dit should be open.

Thiepval Visitors Centre closes at 5.

I am sure I have been turfed out at 4pm before - might be winter closing?

Thiepval Visitor Centre closed at 6pm when I was there a few weeks ago.

Woooaahhh...that told me, I was that "someone"!

Tony, over the years and through various owners/keepers these many places have often changed opening times. For instance, Ulster has shut on a whim in recent years until the present Irish keepers took charge. Best to check directly to be absolutely sure. Have a great weekend. ;)
