Outings

Other Outings

Friends of Bushey Museum have enjoyed many outings over the years. Post-Covid, we have visited The Higgins Museum at Bedford; Reading Museum and Museum of Rural Life; Charleston in East Sussex with beautiful grounds and charming farmhouse; and nearer to home, the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, with a wonderful display of William Morris art and fabrics, and a major exhibition of portraits of American Heiresses by John Singer Sargent at Kenwood.

The Friends of Bushey Museum would like to continue these Outings but to do so we need your support. While the cost of coach hire has increased, it is still good value for money, the more so if the coach is well filled. Don’t delay. Decide today!
