How To Get Involved

We are talking to people on Chard's high street about plans for the museum. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have not visited the museum before.

If you see us give us a friendly wave and come and talk to us! We would love to hear your opinions and ideas. What stories of Chard should the Museum tell? What would you like from your future Museum?

To share the extent of the whole site of Chard Museum, including its fabulous outdoor spaces we have commissioned an architect's model which also shows the listed buildings we will protect. These buildings have their own fascinating stories. We are inviting community groups, including young people, to interact with the model and help us shape the museum's future plans.

We very much hope to stimulate conversations about the potential of the Museum for more community enjoyment and learning, with new facilities. We aim to find out what local people want and need from their Museum.

Come along to the Christmas Tree Festival 8th to 10th December to enjoy the festivities and talk to us.

There will be lots more opportunities in 2024 to help create our museum of the future.
