When did you last visit Parham Airfield Museum?

6 April 2018

Why not be a tourist in your own village and spend a couple of hours looking around the Museum's new artifacts and exhibitions,  including a children's ink stamper trail? 
Dog walkers are welcome to stop off for a drink and snack at the shop and water is provided for four legged-friends.
There are also several geocaches hidden within walking distance of the museum- including a new one in the museum grounds.
Open Sundays 11-5, free admission. 
The Museum is also desperate for volunteers who would be happy on their rota to work one or two Sundays or Wednesdays a month- meeting and greeting visitors or working in the tearoom and gift shop. 

Come along and support your local museum.
