We need your help!

The museum is currently facing an uncertain future due, to rising costs across the board. Our staffing costs and utility bills have soared over the last two years, so we need to do more to raise our income. We’ve already made some changes, such as how we run the coffee shop, but without extra support, more difficult changes may follow. 

Why fifty?

It’s been fifty years since Dr Dick Squires started his plan to build the museum that we know and love and we have had some fantastic successes over that time. It was a huge community effort to convert the old Doctor’s surgery, with people generously giving their labour, resources and time to create a fantastic local facility.

How can you help?

To see the museum thrive for another fifty years, we are launching a new public fundraising campaign. We have options for all budgets, including a 100 club, patron scheme and sponsorship opportunities. If you can support us financially, we will be hugely grateful, if not, please spread the word.
