2022 / 2023 Activities
This has been quite a tough period for us as we have suffered from a reduction in the number of volunteers, and this has put pressure on our opening times and this meant that it has sometimes been a struggle to ensure the Museum is open Wednesday to Saturday as prior to lockdowns.
We received a number of significant donations of items and one of them was a complete set of ARP manuals and materials all in their original boxes. This has attracted a lot of interest.

We continue with the digitizing of the Ruth Dvornik archive of negatives and have been creating mp4 video clips of some (carnivals, plays, town events etc.) and these have been posted on our YouTube channel. Some clips have had thousands of views!
We receive plaudits from all that visit the museum and most visitors are surprised by the variety of exhibits we have in relation to the history of Watton but like most small museums attracting more visitors is always tough.
Our coffee bar and involvement in major town events like the seasonal festive markets and antiques market always attract large numbers of new visitors, sometimes several hundred, and this brings us both monetary donations but also helps to spread the word about our museum and what it has to offer.
