The Friends of Bridport Museum are an active and enthusiastic group who support us
The Friends was established in 2002 by a group of people who wanted to play an active part in the life of their local museum.
Over the last few years interest in the Friends has grown and it has become a vibrant local organisation with approximately two hundred members.
We hold an array of activities and events. There are usually three to four public events each year, an excursion to a stately home, museum or other places of interest, a Christmas Party and there is also the chance to work behind the scenes in the Museum.
