In celebration of the annual free Heritage Open Days event which engages thousands of people with culture, heritage, art and history, we are delighted to be bringing a full programme of events to the 2025 festival.
On September 18th there is a second chance to hear Museum Director Simon Walmsley exploring some of the weaponry held in our collections in this engaging talk, enhanced by real examples, and aimed at a non-specialist audience.
From the crossbow to the SA-80, join us for an interesting amble through 500 years of British Military weaponry.
Illustrated with real examples from our weapons store, this is not to be missed.
