I am writing to you on behalf of the Windsor & Royal Borough Museum to invite you to our upcoming Stakeholder Engagement Evening at Windsor Guildhall on Mon 20th March.
We would like to welcome you to this event to hear your ideas on how we can best create a museum programme that is tailored to the needs and wants of our residents and how we might be able to work collaboratively together in the future.
The evening will be a pleasant opportunity for community networking over a glass of wine and light buffet. The event will begin at 6pm, but feel free to arrive from 5:30pm for welcome drinks and to explore the museum. We will then go upstairs to the Council Chamber where attendees can organise into smaller groups and staff will facilitate informal feedback discussions. The evening will end with a fun historical talk from a leading academic (more detail on this talk and speaker below).
Due to room capacity, numbers are limited, so please reserve your place as soon as you can. Further details about the evening, including an agenda, can be found on the Eventbrite page.
