The Vale and Downland Museum is a registered charity, and we rely on the generosity of visitors and Friends to ensure that the museum remains open and continues to provide services for the community.

Entry to the Museum is free and we ask visitors to consider making a donation (suggested donation of £2 per adult or £1 per child) in the boxes provided  or to contact us. If you are able to Gift Aid your donation, envelopes are available at our Reception desk.

Thank you for helping us make the Vale & Downland Museum a vibrant resource that everyone can enjoy!

You can also support us by donating books, photographs or objects. Before making such a donation please contact our Curator.
