Bosses at Grantham Museum has reassured the community that the facility is most definitely NOT closing!

The move follows visitors to the museum on St Peter's Hill raising concerns with a member of staff that there was an expectation that the Museum was to close.

Rumours regarding the closure seem to be circulating following the recent announcement by SKDC of a review of their Arts and Culture programme and facilities, as reported by Nub News.

Amanda Schonhut - Director of Fundraising and Exhibitions Coordinator said: "There is no truth to the rumour and speculation regarding a potential closure of the Museum.

"Grantham Museum is run by Grantham Community Heritage Association and is completely independent of any Council decisions and funding."

Amanda continued: "I would like to reassure the public that all involved in GCHA are committed to a long term plan to keep the Museum open with a strong focus on a programme of events and exhibitions that help raise awareness of our history and heritage for future generations."

She added: "The museum is open as usual Thursday to Saturday 10am - 4pm, there will be further announcements regarding new exhibitions as well as additions to our current exhibitions in the coming weeks. As always we thank the public for their continued support… "
