Shire Hall Museum's mission is to engage visitors with the history of justice, inspiring them to make a difference to society, politics and justice for all. From our schools programme to conserving the historic courtroom and cells, we rely on support to continue our cultural and community work.

Story

Prisoner:

David Lakins, Managing Director of Key Digital

The Crime:

Making terrible “dad jokes” in the office

The plea:

Not guilty

The evidence:

David has been charged with making terrible dad jokes in the office. He, however, thinks they are “pretty good, and the crime doesn’t fit the pun-ishment!”. We’re giving him another six months just for that last transgression.

As part of this Jail and Bail event, David Lakins is supporting Shire Hall Museum's Memory Cafe.

Shire Hall Museum offers two free reminiscence sessions every month for people living with dementia and their carers.

Delivered by Anne Brown, Learning Manager at the Museum, with the support of volunteers, the Memory Café includes object handling and engaging conversations.

As a registered charity, the Museum relies on generosity and support in order to continue working with its community.
