The Fulneck Moravian Museum is thrilled to announce its grand re-opening this year, by our esteemed guest of honour, the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Cllr Al Garthwaite.

Join us on Wednesday, April 3rd, from 2pm, for this momentous occasion.

This reopening heralds a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself once again into our rich collection of Moravian heritage and exhibits. Run by volunteers this is currently the district's only social history museum, and explores the heritage of the Fulneck Moravian settlement from its inception through to the mid 20th century.

As well as the many interesting objects and stories collected from around the world, there is also the delightful settlement of Fulneck to explore with its Georgian and Victorian buildings, and stunning views across Tong valley.

To help celebrate this Civic occasion, there will be refreshments served close by in the Fulneck Boys Brigade Hall, everyone is welcome.

The museum will be open every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons 2pm to 4pm from April 4th until the end of the Heritage Open weekend on Saturday September 14th.

We hope to see you soon and enjoy what we have, but please consider a donation to help with running costs, and if you're interested in history please come back and see us again!
