2026 EXHIBITION TO OPEN IN MAY

 

Our 2026 Exhibition, entitled ‘When Screens were Small, but the Magic seemed Huge’, is expected to open on Saturday 2 May and continue on Wednesdays and Saturdays until Wednesday 30 September. These dates are provisional and may be subject to change. Confirmed details will appear here nearer the time of opening. Group visits at other times may be available by special appointment.

LECTURE PROGRAMME

We offer a programme of lectures throughout the year. You can attend in person, or online via Zoom. Attendance in person costs £5 with an additional £5 for lunch (when available). Online attendees are encouraged to make a voluntary donation of £5 in support of MoC activities. We are a charitable organisation that relies entirely on donations for financial survival.
