The Friends of Surrey Heath Museum

Surrey Heath Museum is your local museum - why not join us and help to promote and support its further improvement?

The Friends of Surrey Heath Museum society was founded in 1987 to support and publicise the work of the Museum, and to raise money for conservation and purchases for the collection.

The Friends of the Museum enjoy a varied programme, which includes regular outings to places of historic interest, and guest lectures, combined with evening viewings of current exhibitions. They also assist with occasional special museum projects, help to publicise the museum service and produce an annual Newsletter.
