Kegworth Heritage Centre
Donating Items for the KHC Collection
We’re incredibly grateful for the support our community shows the Heritage Centre. However, we kindly ask everyone to remember that we are a museum, not a local tip or a drop-off point for house clearances.
Unannounced or inappropriate donations—especially items left outside the museum—can unfortunately cause more harm than good. They take up valuable space, create unnecessary work for our volunteers, and may not meet the Centre’s collecting criteria - and may even end up costing us money that we can ill-afford.
If you believe you have an item of genuine historical interest to Kegworth or the surrounding area, please get in touch with us first. We’d be happy to advise whether it’s something we can accept or suggest a more appropriate home.
Please be aware that unsolicited items left without prior agreement may be disposed of at our discretion, as we are unable to store or assess everything that is left for us.
Before you bring anything to the site please email us with some basic information about the item(s) including photographs. We would like to know what the objects are, where they came from and how they came into your possession. We will get back to you and if it is an item that is of genuine interest for us we will discuss next steps, including making an appointment with you to see the object in more detail.
