A museum is celebrating 10 years of sharing and preserving its town’s history.

Ludlow Museum at the Buttercross marked the milestone with a special evening reception attended by around 30 guests, including councillors, volunteers, supporters, and Ludlow Town Council staff.

The Mayor of Ludlow praised the museum for its achievements and contribution to the community, highlighting its Arts Council Accreditation.

The museum was also recognised for its 2017 heritage award from Ludlow’s Conservation Area Advisory Committee, which commended the refurbishment of the Buttercross building and its role in enhancing the town’s historic character.

Over the past decade, the museum has welcomed more than 50,000 visitors.

It has provided a space for residents, school groups, community organisations and visitors to explore and connect with the stories that have shaped Ludlow’s past.

Anniversary celebrations will continue during the Ludlow History Festival, with free entry supported by Ludlow Town Guides and Ludlow Civic Society.
