Skanking Delights with DJ Dapper DAN

15/08/2024

As part of the Wimborne Militia’s 25th anniversary celebrations, renowned historian Professor Ronald Hutton is giving a talk entitled “Did Monmouth’s Rebellion Matter?”.

Was the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion a justified stand against King James II? Did it truly matter in the grand scheme of English history? Professor Hutton will delve into these questions and more, offering fresh insights into this pivotal moment.

Professor Ronald Hutton is not just any historian. With 18 books and 95 essays under his belt, plus a seat on several prestigious panels, he's a true expert in British history. This is guaranteed to be a fun and enlightening evening.

Taking place at the Museum in Wimborne on Thursday, 5th September, tickets are £10 per person - doors open from 6:30pm with wine, beer, hot drinks, and snacks available. The talk will begin at 7:00pm.

Tickets are on sale now! Just visit our website museumofeastdorset.co.uk. Every ticket sold helps to support the Museum, it’s projects and keeping history alive!

Don’t miss this chance to step back in time and explore whether Monmouth’s Rebellion really mattered!

Thank you to the staff who ran the election for town councillors yesterday working for over 16 hours in one day, some task and they kept smiling. Thanks for those who turned out and voted and I hope that with a full council the next few years we will be able to encourage more people to exercise their voting rights .

This is the man who has guided in the traffic at every Cursus Festival since we started - never late, no fuss, and always dedicated to the event - while always finding time to make tea and coffee from his tent for the security team.

AT LAST! We hope you are excited to learn that we have a date to try out another night of vinyl worship on Saturday 16th October 2021 at 7pm in the cafe & learning room of the Museum of East Dorset (formally The Priest's House). Entrance will be by the Cafe door near the Library, there will be a simple bar and soft drinks for sale. Due to increased costs of hiring the venue we are asking for £5 per adult (entrance & bar cash only) which is about the price of a pint in a pub so not unreasonable we hope. Your know the score but bring along your vinyl and we will have a laugh.

Obviously Covid precautions need to be considered and we may well have to leave doors and windows open if there is a need, so please be appropriately prepared.
