Welcome to The Kegworth Heritage Centre!

The Kegworth Heritage Centre (formerly The Kegworth Museum) is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and we are unable to maintain a regular opening pattern (for the latest update and some photos, have a look on the News and Events page). Opening is limited to specific dates and times to coincide with other activities in Kegworth Village and neighbouring villages and districts. These are posted on on our Events page and on our Facebook page.

Thank you for your continued support!

We finally have a decent, modern, efficient and more cost effective heating system installed replacing the old and expensive storage heaters. A brand new Dimplex Quantum HRR heating system, consisting of a mix of storage heaters and electric radiators which can be controlled both in the facility and remotely was installed yesterday (Saturday, 18th July) by Greenvision Energy Limited who are based in Nottingham.

Phil is in Yorkshire, John is offshore except when he is onshore, Sheila and Diane are still our local resident Kegworth representatives and Ally has gone even more native in Prague (but at least he can now have a beer in his local beer garden after being isolated for over nine weeks).
