Welcome to Sleaford Museum...    Sharing Our Stories

Sleaford's Museum of local history in its specially designed building is home to artefacts and stories that portray fascinating aspects of the town and area's unique past. Exhibitions in its colourful interior change frequently and visitors are united in their praise.  Admission is free, but your donations are welcomed and much appreciated to help us to cover essential costs and to fund new exhibitions. A range of local history books, booklets, postcards, pens, key-rings etc can be purchased.

The Museum is a completely volunteer-run organisation and a registered charity.  Donations are very gratefully received.

Since opening in 2015, over 20000 visitors have joined us to celebrate sharing the stories of Sleaford people.

The work has begun on Monument Gardens, but rest assured that the Museum remains open throughout!  The usual opening times are exactly as normal (see top of page) and you will receive the usual warm welcome when you pop in to see the displays.  We hope to see you soon.
