You may have noticed the sails of the mill turning over the last few weeks as we prepare to welcome visitors back for the new season – of course nothing is ever certain, but we hope to be able to offer our full range of activities and events this year. We are still working on our events programme as we welcome the wonderful Sarah James as our new administrator. However, we expect that the start of the year will include:
Easter Egg hunt Sunday 17 and Monday 18 April
We will be opening the museum to the public again on the 17th of April, back to our old opening hours of 11am to 5pm (last entry 4pm). Will you be able to find all the Easter eggs? And can you spot the differences in our displays after a busy winter for our volunteers?
National Mills Weekend Sunday 8th May
We did everything we could to mark the 200th birthday of the windmill during lockdown, but this will be a chance to celebrate properly!
Jubilee Weekend Thursday 2nd and Sunday 5th June
We’re still working with other groups in the village on this one to make sure that we don’t clash, but there will be a chance to look back on previous jubilee celebrations at the museum and to enjoy some tea and cake.
If there is something else you want to do at the museum, remember you can still book a group visit, outreach talk or Zoom talk by contacting Alison on education@burwellmuseum.org.uk.
Thank you very much to those of you who have
paid for a season ticket by direct debit – your tickets will be waiting for you
at the front desk from the first day. As always we’ll be looking for new front of house volunteers as the
season starts, as well as welcoming people back from previous years. If you’re
interested in being a volunteer please contact the museum at volunteers@burwellmuseum.org.uk to find out more about what’s involved.
