About the Museum & Heritage Centre
We have been in existence for 40 years on a 36 acre site with over 40 exhibit buildings, providing hundreds of thousands of visitors with informative and inspiring experiences. The collections represent the industries of the south-east of England from 1750 to the present day. We recognise the need for continuous development and are now in an exciting period of change and have set goals to grow our visitor numbers.
Visitor attractions include a narrow-gauge railway, a nostalgic bus service, printing workshop, together with the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at a traditional craft, such as broom-making or blacksmithing, guided by highly-skilled volunteer craftspeople.
The closing date for applications is 9am on Friday 30th November 2018.
