Richmond Remembers: 100 Years of the The Poppy Factory

27th September 2022 to May 2023

Discover 100 years of history as The Poppy Factory celebrates its centenary year.

Founded in the aftermath of the First World War as a means to employ disabled ex-servicemen, The Poppy Factory continues to support veterans and produce Remembrance wreaths from its home on Petersham Road today.

This exhibition explores The Poppy Factory’s fascinating history and displays artefacts which chart the story of this unique local charity.

Coffee and Crafting 2023

Dates throughout 2023

Fancy learning a new craft but not sure where to start?

Want to brush up on your craft skills?

Would you like to meet some fellow crafters?

Then join us for an afternoon of crafting and creativity!

In each workshop we explore the story behind a beautifully crafted object in the Museum’s collection and how it helps us tell the story of Richmond, and use the object as inspiration for a craft project based on the object and the skills needed to create it. No experience needed – absolute beginners very welcome.

These workshops are ‘donate what you can’ to help us keep them open to as many people as possible. Booking essential as places are limited
