Research volunteers needed!
‘A Journey Through Kidderminster’s Town Hall’ is a project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. We are now looking for volunteers to get involved in research which will bring the Town Hall to life and highlight its fascinating history and heritage. It’s a great opportunity to help to tell the story of the building and artefacts ready for when the Town Hall reopens. Support and training in local history and research methods will be provided by Gay Hill, a semi-professional historian and Chair of the Wyre Forest Historical Research Group.

Come along to Kidderminster Library on Tuesday 12th November from 2 – 3 pm to find out more. For further details and to book a place please contact Jackie Murrall, Heritage Volunteer Coordinator:
