There's something for everyone this summer at Bridport Museum, and lots of opportunities to get hands-on with history.

The Historic Guided Walks are back during the school holidays by popular demand, with volunteer guides leading walks which share some of their fascinating insights into the town's unique past.

The walks will be running on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school holidays, weather permitting. They leave from the museum at 10am and last around an hour. All are easy level walking and cost £5 per adult or free for under 21s and there is no need to pre-book.

Ropemaking is staying rogue this summer. The ropemakers will be twisting their magic every Friday outside the museum between 10.30am and 12noon when the weather is good. Indoor ropemaking demonstrations will also be happening at various times during the week.

An annual pass to the museum is £5 for adults, with under 21s free. This includes admission to 'The Right Stuff' exhibition, an interactive exploration gathering ideas about what objects the museum should keep, now and in the future.

The museum is keeping its Covid-safety measures in place until further notice, including the requirement for everyone to wear masks. More information can be found on its website.

Museum director Emily Hicks said: "Whether you're on holiday, visiting with friends, or staycationing, there's no better time to immerse yourself in our town's amazing heritage. Delving into Bridport's heritage - the buildings, the people and the stories - there is always something new to discover about our town. Even better, get in touch to find out more about joining our friendly volunteer team."
