Magic Lantern Show

Many thanks to 'professor John Selley and his partner Elizabeth who provided a wonderful Magic Lantern Show last Saturday, 07th December as part of the Museum's Christmas Tree Festival. Also, thank you to those brave enough to challenge the inclement weather and enjoy the historical entertainment..

Magic Lantern shows were often animated and accompanied by music. They were a form of entertainment that fascinated audiences living in a time before film and photography.

If you missed the show we are hoping that John and Elizabeth will present another entertainment during the Chard Heritage, Music and Arts Festival starting on 27th July 2025.
