Thank you very much to everyone who has supported us this year either by
volunteering or by coming to the museum on an open day or event day. Our
volunteers have been particularly busy and you may have noticed that the
windmill now has the shutters in its sails again – many thanks to the mill team
for their extra days of work and to the site team for getting everything ready
for the arrival of the cherry picker.
We’ve really enjoyed welcoming visitors back and it’s been great to see
families, adult groups, cubs and schools enjoying our events and education
programme. You can book a visit for a group by contacting Alison on education@burwellmuseum.org.uk – we are open to the
public on Thursdays and Sundays from 11-5 but other days and times are also
available by arrangement.
During the summer holidays we are participating in the “Summer at the
Museums” scheme run by the University of Cambridge Museums, so you are welcome
to join us for “arty afternoons” on Thursdays between 1.30 and 3.30. Drop in
activities – all welcome, but activities will be aimed at 7-11-year-olds. We’re
still deciding what we’re going to do because we need to keep an eye on staying
COVID safe, so watch out for posters and social media posts to find out more
about the different activities each week. We’ll also be taking part in Heritage
Open Days so look out for free entry and musical entertainment on Sunday 19th
September!
The mill and museum are mostly run by volunteers and we’d love to have
more help, so contact us on volunteers@burwellmuseum.org.uk for more information
if you have some time to spare and could help with maintenance, front of house,
fundraising and publicity or by becoming a trustee.
