Coffee Mornings in APRIL 2026

  1. April dates are Tuesdays 7th and 21st          11am - 12.30 pm every fortnight.

  2. Thanks to your generosity, our coffee mornings made over £2,000 towards funds last year - let's try and beat that this year.

  3. It's only £2.50 for a coffee and cake, and includes free entry to the Museum.  A great chance to meet up with old friends and make some new ones!

  4. Your opportunity to view our collections!  New additions to the collection can be seen next week!  Why not stay a little longer and have a look around? 

  6. Don't miss our full schedule of upcoming events↗ at Combe Martin Museum↗.

CRAFT TEA CLUB MEETINGS

Our craft group meets every fortnight from 2pm - 4pm.  Because of the Bank Holiday in April we are only meeting once this month.  Why not come along and see what we do?   You can join in and try something new,  or just bring along something you are working on at home.   Enjoy a cup of tea and home made cakes for £3.

NEXT MEETING:   MONDAY 20th APRIL 2 PM

EASTER CHICKS HUNT! 

IN EASTER HOLIDAYS from Monday 30th March.

Our dinosaurs are having a rest, and the easter chicks have taken over!   Come and find out where they are hiding - prizes for children who find them all!   Free entry for children, but they must be accompanied by an adult.  Open 10.30 - 4.00 so plenty of time to search.

 

On FRIDAY 24th APRIL at 2.30 pm our collections manager, Margaret Coward, will be giving a talk "Behind the Scenes" and telling us what is involved on a day-to-day basis in keeping our artefacts in good condition.   It's really important that our volunteers understand what goes on behind the scenes and we are opening this talk to everyone - FREE ENTRY, tea and cakes will be served.
