The Friends of Totnes Museum were set up with the primary aim to support and raise money for the  Museum Trust. We hold talks, host quiz nights and organise other events. Over the years the friends have paid for CCTV in the Museum, become volunteers, bought mannequins, and most recently funded two new laptops and a desktop computer.

 

The Museum Friends are an important part of the Museum's support network.  As well as the warm glow that comes with helping such an important institution, membership of the Friends includes free use of Totnes Archive and discounts on the price of special events and talks.

 

Membership is £10 for an individual and £18 for a couple (children are free).

 

If you would like to become a Friend of Totnes Museum, you can find out more by emailing us at: friends@totnesmuseum.org
