Amesbury Museum Mesolithic Exhibition – Easter Weekend

SCOT — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:47:41 +0000

Amesbury Town Council, have completed the purchase of the Melor Hall in Amesbury (Opposite the Antrobus Arms) and will now move to the process of planning and building the Town its first ever Museum and interpretation centre, telling the Story of Amesbury and capturing a percentage of those millions of tourists that visit our Stonehenge, bolstering the local economy and mutually supporting the two existing museums of Salisbury and Devizes and Stonehenge.

The Council have applied for Charity status for the “Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust” and hope to officially launch this for the Town at a Civic Service on Sunday 29th April, with the first AMHT fundraising initiative which is currently being planned and will create national media attention if it succeeds!

On the Easter weekend, the Council have agreed to use the hall for an exhibition highlighting the Mesolithic rich heritage that is being found. Mayor Rhind-Tutt is keen that we put on a bit of a “wow” experience for visitors and to put the attached poster at Stonehenge for tourists to see and perhaps come to the Town to take a look. He is also keen that the Town puts on a bit of a show over that weekend too and has eating, drinking and buying venues open and welcoming for visitors.
