Meet our Sunday volunteers. The group photo was our open evening for the local history group last night. Sue was a Wars of the Roses re-enactor before she moved to Knighton. Emily is our youngest volunteer and an illustrator of children’s books.

Closing on Sunday, 2June. We’re volunteering @shropscatrescue.bsky.social

We’d love you to join us over half-term. @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social
A chance to win our copy of Shrapnel Boys.

If you're local (or on holiday), we'd love to see you.

When your new volunteer is an illustrator!

David Attenborough to present 360° experience at Natural History Museum - Museums + Heritage The new 50-minute, 360° experience at the Jerwood Gallery combines projection technology with real footage as Sir David explains life's beginnings on Earth

I generally try to keep my museum postings focused on the Anglo-Welsh border, to promote our excellent institutions such as @knightonmuseum.bsky.social - but for David Attenborough I'm prepared to make an exception 👇

💕😊

Hope you can join us too.
