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!

We also still have our Michael and Sylvia Porter postcard exhibition on until JUNE 6th! Come and visit us in the museum to see!
