Over the festival weekend, the first floor of Caffè Nero will be used to display items from the Reigate Priory Museum collection and photographs of collection items.
The display has been curated by members of the Reigate Priory Museum Society who will be there to answer question together with members of the Reigate and Redhill Society.
ENTRANCE IS FREE AND ALL ARE WELCOME.
Reigate Priory Museum, founded in 1973, was housed in Reigate Priory and presented changing exhibitions designed to appeal to both adults and children. Artefacts from the collection, period costumes, and domestic memorabilia were used to stage scenes portraying the life in earlier times.
Sadly, the museum has been closed since 2011 and the collection is stored off-site. This is a loss for the people of Reigate, the visiting school parties, adult groups, and the general public who were able to visit the museum on two afternoons a week and also enjoy guided tours of the very special historic features of Reigate Priory, which is a grade one listed building.
We are asking for your support to re-establish the museum for the benefit of our historic town.
The REIGATE PRIORY MUSEUM SOCIETY supports the museum with a programme of illustrated-talks, films, and concerts. Many of its members are actively involved in the running of the museum collection and conserving the artefacts.
New members are always welcome. Please email reigatepriorymuseum@gmail.com
