Leicestershire & Rutland Heritage Awards

Every year in Leicestershire & Rutland we celebrate the marvellous work of independent museums with a special awards ceremony attended by museum professionals, volunteers and the great and the good from the area.

This year is a bit special – it is 20 years since our first award ceremony (there was only one award in those days – that year it was won by Rutland Railway Museum), so we are going to celebrate it in style at Stapleford Park Country House Hotel at the end of June.

We’ll be celebrating the best exhibitions, events, projects and looking back at the last twenty years with museums, guest speakers and dignitaries attending.

It already looks like there are lots of brilliant projects going on around the counties relating to learning, collections care, digitisation, audience development and much more.

It’s going to be a great party and hopefully will go with a bang.

More news as it comes in!
