What’s On
Each year Weston Museum plays host to a number of events which provide opportunities for both enthusiasts and families to enjoy a great day out.
From Village to Town: Weston-super-Mare’s Built Heritage
8 February – 9 May 2020
This exhibition brings together objects, images and film to tell the story of Weston-super-Mare’s architectural development over the past 250 years. It expands on Historic England’s new publication ‘Weston-super-Mare: The Town and its Seaside Heritage’.
The exhibition celebrates a complex and remarkable heritage which reflects Weston’s transformation from a small village to a busy seaside resort.
‘From Village to Town’ has been created by the South West Heritage Trust in partnership with North Somerset Council and Historic England.
Join us for some Medieval Mayhem making masks, models and magic!
