110 Years of Bolling Hall Museum

About this exhibition

3 September 2025 – 6 September 2026
Bolling Hall Museum

As Bolling Hall Museum reaches 110 years of being a museum after opening in September 1915, come see some new displays celebrating this. Photo panels on easels in various rooms show Bolling Hall when the Tankard family lived there in the 1870s – 1880s and during its restoration into a museum from 1912 – 1915. There is also a small display in the Housebody showing objects linked to Bolling Hall, such as a sword discovered under an attic room’s floorboards, a book found in the garderobe and the ceremonial key used in the museum’s opening ceremony in 1915.

These displays are linked to our Heritage Open Day event on Sunday 14 September 2025.
