Museum staff members will be cycling the distance from Torquay Museum to Moravska Trebova Museum near Prague—just over 1,000 miles in late 2018!

In preparation for the 2018 cycling challenge, the team recently completed the first leg of their rigorous training schedule with a 12 hour fundraising event at Torquay Museum. Joined by local MP, Kevin Foster; Cllr Robert Excell and Torquay United FC Mascot, Gilbert the Gull amongst many friends and supporters, the total mileage cycled was 1,300km.

Why there? We have links with the Moravsaka Trebova Museum and the Museum is in the home town of one of our Curatorial Team.

Why do it? This is part of an on going fundraising campaign

Can I still donate? Donations can be made in person at Torquay Museum reception, over the phone 01803 293975 or made through this site.

Why give money? Torquay Museum is home to many and varied priceless artifcacts. We need funds to keep the Museum and its collections alive for now and for future generations
