There are loads of ways in which you can help the museum.

  • Volunteering – come and help out in a range of activities from historical research to conservation work on our estate
  • Join the Friends of MEAL
  • Funding and donations – help us develop the museum or fund a specific project on our site
  • Become a season ticket holder - if you are a regular visitor to the museum then the MEAL season ticket offers great value as you get unlimited access to the museum during the open season (March to October) and partial access during the winter. We will send you regular updates by email of forthcoming events and activities.    (Please note: The MEAL season ticket does not apply to Bonfire Night celebrations or special pre-booked events such as theatre or music performances).
