Broadway Museum & Art Gallery
For all ages! • 30 Mins • Have Your Camera Ready
Broadway Museum & Art Gallery is a local museum and art gallery in Broadway, England, presenting exhibitions, collections and a varied events programme that highlights regional history, craft and contemporary creativity. The venue offers public entry tickets alongside a busy schedule of ticketed experiences: hands-on workshops, specialist lectures, family activities, seasonal trails and fundraising events.
Workshops and talks are delivered by visiting experts and local practitioners. Recent and recurring offerings include pottery sessions with Dave Short (Great Pottery Throw Down finalist), glass-fusion and printing workshops with Helen Cooper, an archaeology lecture on the Milestone Ground excavation by Jamie Wilkins, and a glass-focused lecture by Justine Hopkins. Practical craft classes cover collage, calligraphy, block printing, corn dolly making and low relief tile carving.
Many sessions provide materials and refreshments: the summer collage workshop supplies all materials and a light lunch, and the modern calligraphy session includes a personal kit and treats. Pottery pieces created during classes are decorated, fired and available for later collection from the gallery.
Seasonal programming includes Christmas grotto trails, Father Christmas events and late-night shopping with themed trails. The museum supports local artists, stewardship of local heritage and community learning through accessible, hands-on experiences for families, visitors and craft enthusiasts.
