Saturday 26 May - a fundraising event for the Wiltshire Heritage Museum.
As an independent charity we receive very little public funding and rely on fundraising events such as this to continue the work of the Wiltshire Heritage Museum to preserve the past for the future.
Free entry - come along Saturday between 10am and 2pm and help us by buying a plant or two, purchasing some bric-a-brac, a book or other produce. There will also be a tombola and refreshments.
