Stitch in Time invites visitors to explore sewing machines, local memories, and the stories held in everyday objects. Connected to the Museum's Collection Rationalisation Project, this free display opens a conversation about why museums collect, how objects are cared for, and how decisions are made about what remains for future generations. Whether you remember sewing at home, learned to stitch at school, or enjoy local history, this display offers a thoughtful look at making, memory, and collection care.
Open 21st July - 20th October2026
