WHAT’S ON
We have a varied programme of exhibitions, events and activities for all the family.
Community Cases
Lifesaving medals
July 2024
David Slade has lent the museum some of his collection of vintage Life saving medals. They are on display with the stories of the people they have been awarded to. Names included two seaman who perished on HMS Hood and the actress who played Mrs Peacock in “Are You Being Served?”.
During the summer holidays, we will be showcasing the medals of the clubs current members.
What will be in the case for 2024?
Throughout 2024
We are looking to get the community involved in the exhibitions and displays in 2024.
Are you part of a community group or local school? Do you want to showcase your groups work, awards or anniversaries? Has your Scouting or Guiding Unit done some amazing badge work?
Then contact the Museum and see how you can be involved in the Museum’s programme for 2024!
