As National Volunteers Week draws to a close, I thought you'd like to see this lovely picture of Assistant Curator, Peter Thomas, receiving much deserved recognition for all his hard work and dedication at the museum. We nominated Peter for the Arts and Culture East Devon Volunteer of the Year Award. Together with other nominees he received a certificate on Wednesday at Kennaway House in Sidmouth. Well done, Pete! 🌟

Ahoy there, matey!
Seaton's Pirate festival was a fabulous event - congratulations to Seaton Chamber of Commerce!
We were delighted to do our bit with an Axe Valley Heritage Association talk at the URC on Saturday afternoon.
Local amateur historian, Claire Ross, gave us a fascinating insight into 'Pirates of the English Channel'. Thanks to Claire and everyone who came. 😁
We're taking a little break over the summer. Our next talk will be on the Vikings in Devon, in September.

Congratulations to Year 6 pupils from Seaton Primary School on a hugely successful visit to the Museum last week.
What fantastic company they were! Amazing ambassadors for the school.
Many thanks to Mr Delfosse and the team for organising the trip. We can't wait to see them again in July when we host their finished Heritage Trail project. 😊

Thank you to Richard Foord MP for visiting us yesterday to celebrate the start of the 2026 season. AVHA members, volunteers and special guests enjoyed a preview of all the exciting changes made over the winter. We are open to the public from Monday 25th May. 😃

It was great to welcome Year 6 pupils from Seaton Primary School to the Museum this morning. They were marvellous ambassadors for the school. We hope they had a great time and look forward to them coming back when their heritage trail project is complete. 😀

We're delighted to be able to help Seaton Tramway with a forthcoming children's event. We've put together a number of items for short term loan to go on display as part of an evacuation-themed activity. Good luck to Diane and the Tramway team - We hope the event is a great experience for everyone involved. 😃
