We are throwing open our doors and inviting everyone in for the annual Inspire Weekend - FREE ENTRY all weekend for visitors to come in, explore, engage and find out more about what we do for the local community.

Inspire Weekend at St Barbe Museum + Art Gallery, Lymington

There is a full programme of activities through-out the weekend including live music on our terrace featuring acoustic sessions by local musicians, enjoy a coffee and soak up the atmosphere.

Visitors can have a go at a free craft activity, how about contributing to our community art installation? Let’s make our best collective mural yet – you don’t have to be arty to take part!

Our family exhibition is іViva México! Popular Arts and Culture - this exhibition pays homage to the countless artists whose creativity gives Mexican culture its unique character and visual power, it will give fun and knowledge to old and young alike.

Come and enjoy all St Barbe has to offer, watch out for our bubble master who will be making magic happen. Such a lot is going on, the good news is it’s FREE, you can come in as many times as you want!

There will be storytelling and children’s entertainment to add to the sparkle. More happenings are added to the programme as we book new things. See our website www.stbarbe-museum.org.uk and social media for more details of the programme nearer the time.
