The People’s Museum of Ashfield is a new community-led, temporary exhibition that will celebrate and share the culture, history and valuable memories of the towns, villages, communities and people of Ashfield in spring 2027.

Not your normal museum, The People’s Museum of Ashfield will be shaped by local people, working alongside specialists and artists. Together, they’ll gather objects, stories and memories that tell the story of our place: our past, present and hopes for the future.

The goal is simple: to show the world who we are and in a way that only we can do justice. This is about showing what makes us, us!

So, if you’ve got a trinket or memento that tells us something about our past and future – from heirlooms and industrial keepsakes to iconic souvenirs from American Adventure or a bus trip to Skeggy – or a story to tell, from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, we want to hear from you.
