2023 / 2024 Activities
The Museum continues to accumulate donations of items, photos and documents from local people enabling us to further expand information for visitors.
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!

Museum for Watton
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.
