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.
