Britain's What's On Event Guide
Deal Museum
Heritage Open Day: The Deal museum portrays the changing history of Deal, Walmer and the surrounding area, and is packed to the rafters with fascinating glimpses into the past with special events happening across the weekends. There is a permanent exhibition about the Royal Marines long association with Deal, which includes films, a dial-up telephone with recorded memories of Royal Marines, Wrens and others plus dressing up clothes for children. Upstairs there are displays about the local and domestic history of the town plus two original Hooden horses and a stuffed, flute-playing rat. The Maritime Gallery houses model and full-sized boats. The collection of life jackets is supplemented by photos and details about the men who saved the lives of so many on the sea. In the courtyard, there are more boats, fascinating gravestones, model cannons and seats to rest on.
The archives will also be open to the public on both weekends.
