The ticket to the event includes a guided tour of the museum, where you’ll discover the fascinating history of the C15 and the earlier remains of Evesham Abbey, now beautifully converted into the Almonry Museum. This striking rubble stone and timber-framed building, with its charming Cotswold stone roof, has stood for over 600 years but now urgently requires restoration. The timber frame has developed significant weaknesses, and the stone slate roof is nearing the end of its life, with rot affecting the structure, particularly at the sole plate level.
The Almonry Museum needs everyone’s help to save this historic treasure. Placed on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register, it’s in dire need of repair and the museum is currently seeking public funding to restore the building and rejuvenate the exhibits. Thanks to a grant from the Cultural Recovery Fund, project development is already underway – but the road ahead requires continued community support.
