We rely on your support
Our museum is a charity. We receive no regular local or national funding. We have fantastic volunteers who help us stay open, but we still need to keep the lights on, care for our historic buildings, feed the animals and much much more!
We also support our local community with social prescribing projects such as our Accompanied Walks for over 60s who are socially isolated. We seek funding to support school visits from deprived areas and SEN schools.
It costs over £2000 a day to keep our lovely patch of countryside and special heritage buildings open and enjoyable for everyone. You can make sure we go on doing that with a donation. And if you pay UK tax then you can make that donation worth over 20% more to us at no cost to you by signing up to Gift Aid it.
Thank you for helping us to go on making the Museum a special place.
