Some of you might remember that we have a new volunteer at the museum… 🐷

Bob’s pig (of Bob Knights the butchers) has been with us at the museum for a few weeks now but has a very busy schedule!

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, you can see Bob’s pig starring as Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web in this year’s flower festival! 🕸️

The flower festival will be hosted from TOMORROW at North Cove Church and is on until Sunday! 🌻

Pop over for a visit to see our volunteer in its starting role!
