What’s On Ashford Museum expands

Ashford Museum, located in the Church Yard opposite St. Mary’s Parish Church, has expanded with the opening of its new Conservation Annexe at 57 High Street. Supporters of Ashford Museum were on hand to celebrate its launch and all of the hard work that the dedicated team have accomplished in creating this new space.

The Annexe has been delivered thanks to the Council’s Empty Property Grant scheme that was launched in 2021. These grants facilitated and supported the occupation of vacant commercial units within the priority areas of the town centre. The scheme has supported the opening of five other vacant premises.

Ashford Museum is now closed for the seasonal period and will reopen in April. The Museum displays artefacts relating to the Borough and its people including medical instruments from the old Ashford and cottage hospital, railway memorabilia and objects from the Neolithic, Romano-Briton and Anglo-Saxon periods.
