Stevenage Museum has a range of fantastic interactive activities for all ages this autumn celebrating the 80th anniversary of Stevenage becoming a new town.

The museum is looking to create real life stories for the future by giving you the chance share your happy memories about growing up here. It’s especially keen to hear from people who grew up in the town from the 1980s onwards and any photos or other records you may have. A photographer will be visiting the museum to capture images for its collection to bring to life what Stevenage is like for families in 2026 or in years gone by.

Family photos old school: Saturday 12 September, 2.00 – 4.00pm

A great chance to learn how to use an old film camera with your children to capture a day in the life of your Stevenage family and become part of the town's history. If you have an old camera, please bring it along. The museum will also have some available to borrow with film.
