We’re getting in the Christmas mood! As well as our own Christmas Shopping Weekend on 21 and 22 November, find us at the Amersham-on-the-Hill Christmas Festival on Saturday 28 November, with a stall inside St Michael and All Angels Church. Our team are also decorating a Christmas tree as part of the Church’s celebrations. And Anthony the Mobile Museum will be playing his now-traditional role as Santa’s Grotto!
On Saturday 5 December, we’ll be open extended hours alongside Cooper’s Old Amersham’s Christmas Market.
The Museum will open normal hours (Wednesdays to Sundays 11.30pm to 4pm) until Sunday 13 December. We then close our exhibitions for the winter.
However, our shop will be open 12.30pm to 2.30pm on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December for all your last-minute present needs!
Christmas at Amersham Museum Shop
We have all sorts of festive goodies in the shop available for you, including a huge range of cards, many of which feature designs by local artists of Amersham and the local area. We are also featuring some products from local makers, including unique decorations from lace and wood, stunning fused glass, chutneys, jams and marmalades, and knitted creations.
If you’re looking for something exclusive, our Amersham Museum Calendar features historical photos by local photographer George Ward. We also have ranges produced by local artists including children’s jigsaws, tea towels and notelets inspired by local illustrator Elly Bazigos, and notelet sets by local artist Paul Chappell featuring his watercolours of the Museum and our beautiful garden.
Our exclusive jigsaws showing Amersham Old Town, and the Museum’s garden, make a great present. We also stock a full range of local history books, including our own publications about our herb garden, Women at War by Alison Bailey telling the fascinating stories of local women during the First World War period, and All Aboard to Amersham providing the history of the railway’s arrival in the area and the growth of Amersham-on-the-Hill.
We’ve also got gifts for gardeners, cooks, nature lovers, and (grand) children, with vintage-style toys for stocking fillers, pencil cases, keyrings, coasters, teabag tidies and glasses cases
Our shop is open during Museum opening hours Wednesday to Sunday 11.30am to 4.00pm up to and including 13th December and then the weekend of 19th and 20th December 12.30pm to 2.30pm.
