Residents and visitors are invited to have their say on a West Cumbrian museum at an online discussion event and survey.
The Beacon Museum in Whitehaven is offering free tickets to anyone who takes part in the research.
Its latest exhibitions include Medieval Medicine where visitors will be able to discover the often gruesome cures used in Medieval England and a photographic trip through Copeland in the 1950s and 1960s.
Heather Holmes, customer and visitor experience manager, at The Beacon Museum, said: “This is a great opportunity for Cumbria residents and visitors to find out about what’s on at the Beacon and to help us serve the local community and our visitors as we come out of the lockdown.
“We want to hear about your experiences of visiting museums and cultural attractions and what you want to see and do.
“We want to hear from parents and grandparents, community groups, people with an interest in Copeland’s history and heritage, and people looking for new experiences and things to do. We are keen to hear from people who have never visited the museum before as well as people who have not visited in some time.”
The museum also has a series of new immersive and virtual reality experiences showcasing the heritage of Copeland.
To get involved and have your say on the museum’s future offer email Pamela.Telford@copeland.gov.uk
The Beacon Museum staff team will be in touch with further information and available session dates.
