We’re absolutely delighted to announce that we have been awarded a 2020 Sandford Award for education. The award recognises high-quality formal education programmes, run at heritage sites across Britain. The judges made these comments about Amersham Museum:

Amersham Museum is a fantastic community resource which offers a professional, engaging learning programme. Its particular strength is a focus on local history using archive material and objects to explain the development of Amersham over time. The Museum staff have developed a fantastic relationship with local schools which is reflected in the number of repeat visits and strength of the programme.
 
Our amazing team of volunteers and freelancers have helped to make this possible, so a huge thank you to all of them for all their hard work.

“Enjoyed our visit to this wonderful interactive museum where you are positively encouraged to touch things!”

“Visited Amersham museum yesterday – lovely place, provides many details on the history of the place. Plenty of cute cafes, pubs and shops around also… not difficult to find free parking nearby. ”

“A well-run, informative and interesting small museum on the main street. It’s mostly volunteer-run and they do a great job in keeping it and making you feel welcome…Check out the herb garden too.”

“Enjoyable film and television location guided walk around Amersham hosted by Amersham Museum – here are the Sun Houses on Highover Park and further up the hill is High & Over.”
