Also, Medway Museums and Library service is planning to stage exhibitions previously shown at MALSC in Eastgate House during, and either side of, various festivals in the area. If you can volunteer a couple of hours to help supervise these, please e-mail Elaine Gardner at lanagardner@fsmail.net and you will then be contacted nearer the time of the exhibition.

Those planned are:

  • Dickensland Then & Now - for the Dickens Festival
  • Royal Engineers - for Veterans’ Day at end of June
  • Shorts - for the Fuse Festival
  • 1000 years of Medway History - for Heritage Open days in early September
  • Victorian way of Life/Victorian Christmas - for Dickens Christmas festival.

We are all keen to see Eastgate House open to the public as much as possible so we hope that you can help by giving us a little of your time.
