We need someone who likes gardening, maybe someone with a couple of hours a week to do a bit of weeding, edging etc, light work really but essential to keep our cafe and museum pleasing to the eye.

Moonlight over the Marsh, a lovely place to be in the evening.

Please contact Louise Hatcher

Hello everyone 👋
I’m one of the volunteers at The Romney Marsh Wartime Collection, and this year my role is organising stall holders for our upcoming events.
If you’re interested in having a pitch, please feel free to message me and I’ll happily send you more details.
I’d also love to hear from local schools, Beavers, Cubs, Cadet groups, and similar organisations who might like to run a stall to raise money for their group. As a former committee mum and Beaver leader, I know just how challenging it can be to raise those vital funds to keep clubs running and children engaged.
We’re very happy to offer a discounted pitch fee to help support these groups, just as we do for any charity that books a pitch with us.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you 😊

🎄We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄
Also thank you all for your support throughout the year.
We look forward to 2026 🤩
