We are open from 11am until 4.30pm on Bank Holiday Monday!

Come and discover WW2 history with our Learning Officer, Ruth, who will be sharing her collection of WW2 related handling artefacts and replica artefacts.

Get hands on and discover some of the things used by people living and working at home and those on active service during World War II. A chance to look closely, touch and hold some amazing objects to find out more about rationing, the role of civilians working to keep people in Britain safe during the war, and some of the kit that people serving away from home used during World War II.

Drop in between 11am and 3pm. Free, donations welcome. Family friendly but all ages welcome.  

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of World War II. You might also be interested in our collections displays to find out more about the Stroud District during World War II.
