In our application for Arts Council funding, we stated "this is a collection which is nothing without its community to tell its story."
We couldn't be happier to be working with Hayley Sharlene Price to host an "Ancestry Day" at Worcestershire County Museum at Hartlebury Castle on Saturday 15th August.
I will shortly be creating a Facebook Event for this. If you're able to come, please let us know, as there may be number restrictions in place for this day. The event will run from 11am-4pm and based in the Orchard Rooms. The event is free, but this does not include access to the County Museum or Bishops Palace.

A fabulous, if rather hot, evening watching a performance of Crystal's Vardo at Kidderminster West Team Ministry. Great to see so many of you there, Abi Smith, Hayley Sharlene Price, The Circle of Hope - GypsyRoma&Traveller, GRT Friendly Churches . An important story to tell of discrimination, injustice, and hope ❤️

We are absolutely gutted to have to postpone our school events this week due to the extreme heatwave and red weather warning here in the Midlands. We are looking to reschedule these events for the autumn.
There is still a chance to see a free performance of Crystal's Vardo this evening at Kidderminster West Team Ministry.

We are so excited, and the sun is going to shine ☀️

How adorable is this miniature Vardo, providing hours of imaginative play! Whilst not currently on display at Worcestershire County Museum at Hartlebury Castle, this beautiful set is part of our collection and used to be displayed alongside a doll's house. Thank you Cathy for sharing these photos.

I love the Romani flag bunting on the staircase at Worcestershire County Museum at Hartlebury Castle. Visibility is so important, and we've already had visitors ask "what flag is this?" which automatically starts conversations and learning
