The Fairlynch Museum
Pending display name
We would like to collect photos, audio, video and stories for an exhibition that showcases the amazing strength, spirit and resilience of our local community during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown.
About this cause
Fairlynch is 100% volunteer-run, for everyone who lives in and loves our corner of the world. We have nationally important costume, geological collections and excellent resources for local and family history researchers. This Grade 2 listed, thatched museum is at the heart of the community, for the community – from local school children and upwards – and hosts diverse events and exhibitions which are accessible to all.
How this cause brings people in the community together
School children, key workers, businesses, our local hub, medical services, families, and older people; we plan to include all of our community in the story of 2020. This would benefit future generations and bring the current community together. While this has been a challenging time for all, this project aims to foster community spirit and continue the positivity of Budleigh in lockdown.
