Join us at Bruce Castle for morning tea and the opportunity to look at our collections and share stories.

September's session is: Back to School!

As the academic year begins once again, we'll be sharing objects and images to spark conversations about school days gone by. During the session you will be able to chat over morning tea in a welcoming environment, handle some of our museum and archive collections and share your own stories.

Perhaps houses such as those on the pioneering cottage garden estate of Tower Gardens Housing with grace and space. Or can you refer us to a more modern piece of architecture that you like?
