Cottage Museum

Woodhall Spa People's Pagent

The People's Pageant took place on Saturday 9 July in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire.
In 1911, 100 years ago, a great historical Pageant was held in Woodhall Spa to mark the villages' centenary. Now in 2011 the community is marking this historical event that celebrates life in our vibrant village today. This unique event will brought together the modern aspects of this well loved Lincolnshire village with its fascinating history. This is a short film our school made during the event.

In recent years, the school has carried out a various projects with the Cottage museum including a visual photographic record, a project at Tattershall Thorpe Camp and a "memories in a box" display.

The Museum is a registered charity run by volunteers. It has been open for over 26 years and is dedicated to preserving, displaying and promoting the heritage of Woodhall Spa from its beginnings to the present day.

The Cottage Museum received the prestigious Award for Excellence at the bi-annual Lincolnshire Heritage Award Ceremony which took place at Gainsborough Old Hall on the 10th July 2014. The museum was also highly commended for the Inspiration award category for their submission ‘The Future of Woodhall Spa Museum.

This year the entries were judged by David Sleight (Dean of Public Engagement, University of Lincoln, Emma Tatlow (Visit Lincoln Partnership Manager) and Steve LeMottee (Executive Director of East Midland Museum Service).

The Cottage Museum recently underwent a significant redevelopment supported by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
