Group Visit to Museum

 

The St George Community Transport group were finally able to visit our museum in January. This group of 20 visitors, plus carers and drivers had originally booked a visit just before the Covid-19 lock down and had been trying ever since.

They spent about an hour and a half here, viewing the displays and enjoying a “cuppa”.

Everyone was so excited to finally be able to visit and we had some very good feedback.   “Everyone on the bus enjoyed the museum today. The volunteers there are very passionate about the history/museum and are eager to share their knowledge.  One volunteer is the ex-mayor and another is a history teacher.   CP was very excited, she has 2 dolls at home, one is over 100 years old and another almost 100.  She was able to chat to a volunteer about donating them.  R is donating a rocking horse.”

We are looking forward to, at last, welcoming groups back to our museum. We are also happy to open on days other than our regular opening times.  Contact us to discuss a booking.
