Museum Waves the Flag

Well, actually it's a banner which is rather too big to wave. Museum volunteers have been busy designing and making a banner which we'll unfurl at our community Peace Picnic in July. We want as many people as possible to have some input in the creation of the banner so we're taking it to the School Fair on 1 July. Children and parents will be invited to make pompoms from scraps of wool and the decorations will be attached to the banner. The banner links 1918 and the end of World War One with 2018 with an appropriate slogan. After the Peace Picnic it will be used at Heritage Open Day on 9 September and again at an event we're staging in November.

The Flintham Museum opened for the 2018 season on Monday 2 April at 2pm. The shop window displays have been changed and, as always, there's lots to see and talk about.

The main window display has an eclectic selection of unsold shop stock and advertising material from 1911-1982 while the other window features Flintham Women. This is in recognition of some women gaining the Vote in 1918. We're open every Sunday afternoon until October and at other times by appointment. Look forward to welcoming you!
