Upcoming events and activities

Newton Abbot Museum hosts a lively and varied programme of events throughout the year. Activities take place across the museum galleries, community rooms, and sometimes out and about in the town.

These include opportunities to get hands-on with museum objects, take part in creative art sessions, join our memory cafés, or enjoy special behind-the-scenes tours of the museum stores.

Events are updated regularly, so be sure to check back often to see what’s coming up.
