In light of government restrictions, and to look after the health and well-being of our visitors, volunteers and staff, we have temporarily closed Garioch Heritage Centre to visitors until the current situation caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19) eases.

We cant wait to welcome you back to the centre as soon as possible, but without your continued support this might not be possible. Garioch Heritage Centre is an independent museum, meaning we receive no regular funding from government or local authorities. We derive most of our income from our amazing visitors and supporters. People like you.

Despite being closed and having our very small number of staff on furlough there are still costs involved in the centre. We have taken action to remove any unnecessary expenses but we are still left with a bill of around £3,500 every month to cover costs such as heating which is required to protect both the building and the exhibits.

With your support we will be able to reopen and (after the unexpected delay) you will be able to enjoy all our regular exhibits, our special event days such as the Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry, Critter Keeper shows, and many other events. Families and visitors of all ages have enjoyed Garioch Heritage Centre for over 2 years; by making a donation today, you can help us secure the future of the centre.

Stay in touch via social media. We will be sharing memories, exhibits, and stories from the centre. We would love to hear from you, and hear what the centre means to you. Please use the tag #MyGarioch.

Please help support Garioch Heritage Centre in this difficult time. We are appreciative of any size donation; every pound will help maintain our centre for future generations.
