Trowbridge Museum - Online Survey

Thank you very much for taking a moment to fill out this survey.

Trowbridge Museum is planning some major new developments to help secure its future and make it more enjoyable for more people. The Onwards and Upwards project will improve facilities on site, greatly expanding the space into the upper floor of Home Mill, the museum’s current home. This project will include a new pop-up café and shop and renewing the exhibitions and displays. The Museum will also be offering a whole new range of exciting learning and family activities, all whilst ensuring visitors can enjoy seeing historic machinery in action!

As part of the development of this project we’d really like to hear your views and what you think of our plans.

This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
