Events

The Rural Museums Network operates a number of events and activities for members, aimed at promoting opportunities to share skills, knowledge and examples of best practice.

Our Rural Voices Seminar Series bring expert speakers and museum professionals together to share how rural collections and rural sites can better include a wider range of voices in the stories they tell. These sessions are on the Zoom platform and are FREE for members (institutional and individual) and £5 for non-members.

Membership to the RMN starts at just £10 per year, representing good value for our Seminars as just one member benefit. For more information, visit our subscriptions webpage.

If you aren’t sure if your museum is a member, please do contact us to check before you book.

Details of our 2026 Seminars will be available soon.

If there are particular topics or themes you would like the Rural Museums Network to explore, please contact us>>

For more information on previous sessions including links to additional resources, please visit our News page.

For Rural Museums Network members, we also host informal ‘Chewing the Cud’ sessions most months, which is a chance to chat online (via Zoom) about a particular theme or topic over a virtual coffee. Generally, we ask someone to say a few words about a project that they’re working on, or something close to their heart, for 10-15 minutes and then open up the virtual floor for questions or a discussion and see where that leads. Recordings of some of these, and many of our Seminars are available to view on our YouTube Channel here>>
