FRIENDS OF JOHN BUNYAN MUSEUM & LIBRARY

The Friends work hard raising important funds for improvements to the museum and its collection.

This friendly and active group organises several events each year, including talks, visits, music and social events (Friends Events). During the coronavirus restrictions, some online 'Highlights' videos were produced by volunteers, while in-person events could not be held.

The group is affiliated to ‘British Association of Friends of Museums’.
