Launch of "Making History Fun" Campaign

October 2006 saw the launch of the Museum's exciting year-long campaign called 'Making History Fun'. The aim of the campaign is to make history more accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The Museum is very busy planning a full programme of events and activities to run throughout the year. There will be musical evenings, performances (to include: 'An Audience with Rudyard Kipling'), special exhibitions, a Quiz night, speakers and a special Smuggler's event.

The programme and details about events appear in the new 'Making History Fun' section of this website, which has gone online to help keep the public informed.
