Burwell Museum: We’re back!


We have had a fantastic first opening month and it was great to see some many visitors, both local and from further afield, enjoying the museum and windmill once more. We have many events on the horizon including:


Jubilee Weekend Thursday 2nd and Sunday 5th June

We will be holding a special ‘Tea for the Queen’ event on Sunday the 5th of June with Fortnum and Masons tea and cakes by Lexi in our tea room. Please note the museum will be closing early (gates locked at 4.30pm) to enable visitors and volunteers to enjoy the event taking place at St Mary’s church at 4.30pm.


Burwell Museum and Windmill’s 30th birthday 24th July

We will be holding a birthday party for the museum with live music, games and crafts and more cake all day from 11am-5pm so don’t miss out.


We rely on volunteers to keep running and open to the public, and are always looking for new faces. If you are interested in volunteering please email Sarah James at admin@burwellmuseum.org.uk .


We are continuing to take bookings for group visits, outreach events and talks both in person and by Zoom. To book please contact Alison Giles 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.
