Forthcoming highlights at the Musical Museum

March 8, 2024

March sees a busy programme of events with some fundraising activities to support the future of the venue.

On Saturday 9 March at 2.00pm there will be guided tours of the museum designed especially for children.  Tickets £15.00 / £25.00.

The on Sunday 10 March at 4.00pm there will be a Hybridae Concert with Naomi McLean and Joyce Tang present a program on remembering Fauré & cello salon music. Hybridae concerts involve live musicians playing alongside piano rolls.  Tickets £12.00/£20.00

The Tea Dance returns on Saturday 23 March at 2.00pm. Dance the afternoon away with a free dance lesson and a tea/coffee or Prosecco included with your ticket which costs £10.00.

Then on Saturday 30 March at 2.30pm Robert Wolfe is at the Wurlitzer. Norfolk's 'King of Keys" and resident organist at Thursford collection makes a welcome return to the Musical Museum. Advance tickets cost £15.00.

As part of the effort to continue to make the Museum financially sustainable, admission prices have been increased.

The museum says it has kept prices in line with attractions in the local area and as visits to include a guided tour, it believes they still represent good value. 

Should visitors opt to add a 10% donation on top, then the museum can claim Gift Aid on their admission tickets too. 

Gift Aid Admissions lets it reclaim tax on the whole amount paid—an extra 25 per cen, potentially a very significant boost to the Museum’s funds.

The museum continues to offer a 50% discount for residents of the London Borough of Hounslow with proof of address. 

The museum’s 60th anniversary Gofundme campaign has reached over 70% of its £60,000 target. It received a further boost this week with coverage on the radio and in the Daily Telegraph.

The  Magpie and Crown is putting on an 'Easter Extravaganza' as a fundraiser for the Museum over the Easter weekend (29 March to 1 April) with karaoke, live music and pub quizzes. 

The museum says, “We have been overwhelmed with the response so far - thank you so much for your support. Please continue to share our campaign to help us reach our target. Every donation, no matter the size, adds up and makes a difference. “
