The Museum’s new summer exhibition, ‘Ingenuity and Vision’, explores the remarkable story of the 1950 Market Harborough ‘Festival and Rally of Boats.’  Held just five years after the end of World War II, this event brought together over 50 boats, campaigners and enthusiasts, in a bold celebration of Britain’s inland waterways.

Brickfield House Market Harborough LE16 8XS opens on the 20 June, 12-4. A two-acre garden with lovely views overlooking the Welland Valley.

Our mill once again opened its doors to the public over National Mills Weekend 2025. Over the two days volunteers showed 70 visitors of all ages around the mill. They explained the history and operation, whilst also highlighting the 200 examples of graffiti and apotropaic marks made by millers over the past 300 years. We were blessed with exceptionally good weather. Whilst most visitors were local, some had travelled from as far afield as South Wales to visit the oldest surviving post mill in Leicestershire.

This is a giant eight-acre Maize Maze with a fun quiz trail hidden amongst three miles of paths! It is designed in the shape of a Steam Train with high-level bridges and towers. It includes an Activity Fun yard with mini-mazes and games.

Will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 12 July in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, 10am - 12.45pm.
