Christmas Special
Sunday 5 December 2021
We are planning our Christmas special event, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that Father Christmas will visit us - socially distanced, of course!
There will be bygones, fairground models, Christmas music from the fabulous fairground organ, and lots of Christmas crafts.
Watch out for further details during November.

It is with heavy hearts that it has been decided that we will not be holding the traditional Prickwillow Ploughing Festival in the foreseeable future in its current form.
The trustees of the Museum, together with the Clarke family, whose support of the Museum continues to be appreciated, have reluctantly taken the decision due to spiralling costs of organising and running the event, together with the increasing strain on the farm activities.
Things have been exacerbated in recent years by the inclement weather. This was particularly the case in 2019 when the wet weather and consequential deterioration in ground conditions caused cancellation of field activities and a severe drop in visitor numbers, and as a result in income. Bizarrely, it has been recognised that we were fortunate that the 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid, as the weather on the planned Festival dates could have led to a considerable loss, a risk which we are unable to sustain as the Museum always has to operate on very tight margins.
We would like to thank exhibitors, visitors, and volunteers for their support over the last 10 years. Since 2010, including donations, a remarkable £27,000 has been donated to Cancer Research UK, ring fenced for oesophageal cancer, in memory of Nigel Clarke.
The Museum is looking to organise an alternative smaller scale event at the end of September.
