Burwell Museum: Welcome back!
Thank you very much to everyone who supported our opening event on the 23rd of May. We’re incredibly grateful to Pat Kilbey and the Burwell musicians for all their help over lockdown and as we reopen. We’re really glad to have almost everything back open at the museum now, and we’re grateful for everyone’s patience as we wait for it to be safe to open the upper floors of the mill again.
Our next event will be the summer fete, which will be on the 25th of July from 11am to 5pm. We’ll have the musicians again and hope for a lovely summer day to enjoy the museum at its best. As with everything this year, keep an eye on our social media and on posters around the village for exact details as we work out what we can safely do to enjoy the museum together.
As we get back to having volunteers on site it would be great to welcome some new ones, and our mill team is particularly keen to have more members as we catch up with vital maintenance work! If you are free on a Tuesday, enjoy working on practical tasks as part of a team and would like to learn more about the windmill and how you can help it to keep working, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Alison on volunteers@burwellmuseum.org.uk for more information, or feel free to drop by on a Tuesday morning for a chat. We’re also looking for more people for front of house shifts on Thursdays and Sundays if you’d prefer that.
Could you help keep the sails turning? We’re looking for new members for the mill team!
