Wellington Town Museum Opening Event
9 April 2025
We had the pleasure of being invited to Wellington Town Museum's opening event for the 2025 season. The event was held by the mayor of Wellington, Councillor Janet Lloyd and the volunteers of Wellington Town Museum. Joined by the town crier, Andrew Norris, and members of the public, we were among the first to enter the museum for this season and discover the precious artifacts inside.
Having worked with the museum over a period of years on a variety of projects, we were pleased to see all of their hard work pay off, and we wish them a successful 2025 season. It was a fascinating visit, definitely worth popping in to hear and the rich history of the town from the friendly and dedicated volunteers who run the museum.
