Items wanted for sporting reminiscence box

Posted onPosted on 17th Oct

Mansfield Museum is appealing for sporting related items for its free reminiscence loan box service, which lends a selection of objects, photographs and activities to care homes and groups.

The museum has had different boxes on a range of topics available for hire for several years and now wants to expand its service.

One of the new boxes will be on the theme of sport and the museum is looking for objects or photographs to put into it.

It said objects of interest were any sporting uniform or kit, sporting equipment, photographs from sports days, fun runs, marathons, motorsports and more, and trophies.

Donated objects have to be from or directly related to the Mansfield area, and will be specifically used for handling only.

They will not be preserved in the museum’s collection.

To see if the museum might want any donation call 01623 463088 or email [email protected]
Mansfield Museum, which is free to visit, is open Monday to Saturday, from 10am until 5pm. Go to www.mansfield.gov.uk/museum for more details.
