What's on in June?

Father's Day - Sunday the 15th (in case you forgot)

Dads go free on Father's Day at the Dean Heritage Centre!

Spend some time with the family; learn about The Forest of Dean in The Museum, get creative in The Craft Hut, venture through The Gruffalo Trail & blow off some steam in The Woodland Playground.

Struggling to find the perfect present? Have a look at our Father's Day Gift Guide here.

Backstage in the Gage - Wednesday 18th of June

Find out about the remarkable photographs taken by AB Clifford of Lightmoor colliery in the 1930s. Clifford was an important leader in mine rescue and safety locally and nationally. He developed an interest in photography and recorded men working underground. Scans of the reverse of postcard images written by Clifford himself have kindly been sent to us by Clifford's nephew, and we will be delighted to share these and talk about the images themselves.
