Welcome to Kegworth Heritage Centre

If you've used our site before you may notice a chance in this page! We've attempted to declutter the home page and only focus on a few key pieces of news. Click on one of the tiles below and it will take you to the relevant news items. This is really new and there may be some teething troubles until we get it spot on, but we'll get there! We hope that direct clicking will be better for you than doom scrolling through the page!

NB This change does not yet work well on small screens but it is fine on the desktop or a tablet - or even a larger phone. Phone users will be asked to use landscape mode until we can work out a better way to achieve the correct look and feel on the small screen

We’re incredibly grateful for the support our community shows the Heritage Centre. However, we kindly ask everyone to remember that we are a museum, not a local tip or a drop-off point for house clearances.

Unannounced or inappropriate donations—especially items left outside the museum—can unfortunately cause more harm than good. They take up valuable space, create unnecessary work for our volunteers, and may not meet the Centre’s collecting criteria - and may even end up costing us money that we can ill-afford.

If you believe you have an item of genuine historical interest to Kegworth or the surrounding area, please get in touch with us first. We’d be happy to advise whether it’s something we can accept or suggest a more appropriate home.

Please be aware that unsolicited items left without prior agreement may be disposed of at our discretion, as we are unable to store or assess everything that is left for us.

For more information on how to donate items to KHC please click here. We now made it easier than ever to contact us about potential donations without having to visit the museum.
