We’ve had a couple of days to: recover, take stock, download photos, mop up the spilled ice-cream and generally clear things away after HIPUM and so it seemed like a good time to post some highlights of the weekend.

We have had incredibly positive feedback about the event and it is lovely to say that we received no negative feedback at all. The museum was really well attended, tours were full, the evening event was a sell out.

Coming up in the next few posts, we’ll have highlights from Sunday, the tours, the evening event and more. For now, here are some highlights from Saturday.

We put up signs in the morning to help people find their way around the walking tour.

Tony and Lisa are making last minute preparations. Amending and reprinting captions for the displays live on site (Saturday AM).

Our finds handling displays set up and ready for visitors to arrive.

Despite a few rain showers, everything went ahead as planned.

The museum reception and shop were under cover in the “bike shed”. Volunteers are helping visitors find their way around.

Doors open on Saturday for the displays in the barn. Our lovely logo by the door!
