We regret that the museum was closed for the 2020 season however the good news is that we plan to re-open on Sunday 30th May with all necessary precautions in place to provide a safe environment for our volunteers and visitors alike.
Feel free to contact us by email to felmuseum@btopenworld.com or leave a message on our answerphone 01394 674355. Alternatively find us on Facebook.
Our evening talks, normally held at Broadway House (Orwell Road) in conjunction with Felixstowe Family History Society, are now taking place via Zoom.
Once it is safe to do so we intend to return to our normal venue, meeting on the second Wednesday of the month. (to be reviewed May 2021)
We will be holding an open day for potential volunteers on Saturday 8 May from 1000 – 1400 so come along and find out more about what we can offer. If you are interested in attending, we would love to hear from you, preferably in advance of the day to help planning.
Mark Mitchels on ‘A History of the Suffolk Landscape’
For many people the Suffolk landscape is the landscape of England – passed down to us through the paintings of John Constable. But the Stour he painted has lock gates, a sure sign of Man’s intervention! This illustrated talk will examine the changes which have occurred in Suffolk across the centuries and show the ways in which they have left their mark on the county today.
