Fantastic News for the Museum!

We’re delighted to find out that the Museum has been awarded £65,895 from the national Museum Renewal Fund 2025!

This fund supports museums owned or directly maintained by local authorities, helping safeguard the community impact and engagement that public access to museums makes possible.

These additional funds will enable the Museum to undertake important projects that will grow visitor numbers and strengthen the Museum’s long-term sustainability—initiatives that would not have been possible without this support. Work is expected to begin immediately and be completed in early 2026.

This achievement is a real testament to the dedication and outstanding work of our Museum team. Huge congratulations to Steph, Becky and Alex for their commitment and success in securing this funding!
