Knaresborough Town Museum Group (TMG) was set up in October 2019 to campaign for a Town Museum. After several pop up exhibitions and a successful crowdfunding campaign, TMG was renamed Knaresborough Museum Association (KMA) and registered as a charity in May 2021 (Charity Number 1194614).
KMA’s Knaresborough Heritage Centre at 12 High Street opened in Spring 2024. This is the first stage in establishing a Town Museum. KMA has secured the lease for 5 years. KMA had previously planned to house the Town Museum in the ground floor of Castle Girls’ School, but this fell through after lease negotiations with Harrogate Borough Council ended without agreement.
Knaresborough Heritage Centre has a flexible gallery space for heritage exhibitions, talks, and workshops; a retail and reception area where visitors can find out about places to visit in Knaresborough, book walks, talks and workshops; and an office for KMA volunteers. This is a heritage centre that Knaresborough can be proud of.
A BIG thankyou for all our supporters , donors and volunteers for getting us to where we are today.
We are still working towards the proposed Town Museum . . .
