All this plus our tearoom will be open serving mince pies, sausage rolls, and Christmas treats and drinks.

Come along and join in

Christmases Past at the Museum We will welcome the festive spirit when the ghost of Christmas past appears on Saturday December 7th. Between 12 and 6pm the museum will be celebrating a Victorian and Edwardian Christmas. Admission is free!

Happy Bonfire Night!
Who is holding this sparkler I wonder? Could it be a descendant of Guy Fawkes who lives in Wymondham town centre near the Cross? It is! A fun Bonfire Night fact for you!
Have fun out there and stay safe!

That's it! We've officially closed for the season until March other than our Christmas Past event on the 7th December! We are so grateful to all of our visitors who came this year and helped make it such a memorable one, but this is for our volunteers.

We are lucky to have the most wonderful team of volunteers at Wymondham Heritage Museum, who contribute their time in a multitude of different ways, entirely out of the goodness of their heart. From those who volunteer monthly to sit and man front desk or run the tearoom, to those who sit on our committee and manage the running of the museum- we are so grateful! Whilst some organise events, put together displays and exhibitions, or manage children's activities at the museum, others tend our garden, bake all of our homemade cakes for the tearoom, work in building maintenance, deal with our art and our collections, run our IT or publicity, manage our social media, lead tours, lead our volunteers, or manage the running of the museum day to day. We are so grateful to you all. The museum literally wouldn't be able to operate without you!

I'd like to say an extra special thank you to Nancy for being the most amazing Chair of the museum for the last two seasons. You have done the most fantastic job and we're so grateful. An enormous thankyou for your tireless work all year in collections too.

Another special thank you to Helen, our amazing Tearoom Manager, Sarah our displays manager, Jaybee who runs our tours, Trevor who runs all of our IT, Neil who is our publicity manager, DIY David our maintenance manager, Janis who takes care of our gardens, Debbie, Alison and Val who make our amazing cakes, Chris W who manages all of our Stewards with such care, Chris Y who gives up every single weekend to run the tearoom, Amanda who runs our shop and art displays, Laura who runs our social media and is on our display and event team, Simon our vice chair, and Sam who is on our event team.

And to all of our volunteers, thank you so much.
Until next year!

Today is our final day of opening (with the exception of our special Christmasses of the Past event on Saturday 7 December, 12pm to 6pm with Father Christmas visiting too 🎅🎅) until next March.

So if you need something to do this Sunday afternoon, why not visit us ? Our tearoom is open too with lovely homemade scones and cakes 🍰and warm drinks ☕️ . We are open from 1pm to 4pm .

Free entry for children too .

Looking forward to seeing you.
