Local Stories, International Conflicts

Our new Fishermen at War gallery reflects local experience of war over the centuries. In this anniversary year of the end of World War I, we’d like to invite you to a Curator’s Talk which will introduce you to some of the objects and stories on display.

Spaces are limited and booking is essential.
Contact us to book your free ticket or use Eventbrite.
