In March 2014 Bridport Museum was granted initial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the ‘Bridport Dagger’ redevelopment. The project is a large redevelopment, which aims to completely re-design the interior of the museum and all its displays.
The team have been very busy beavering away on the plans and developing ideas to raise the rest of the money required to support the project. Volunteers are also busy working on cataloguing collections and undertaking research.
The Museum is now hosting a big launch event to tell everyone about the project and the variety of ways anyone can get involved.
Emily Hicks, Museum Director, said, “This event is an opportunity to find out more about the current plans but also contribute to what our museum might look like in the future. We will be talking through the different elements of the project and answering any questions. We will also be announcing some exciting and different fundraising schemes for the project. ”
The event is on Wednesday 11th February at 2pm in the Town Hall and is open to everyone. Tea and cake will be served afterwards by the Friends of Bridport Museum.
