Our 2022 Exhibitions
Local Geology, Archaeology and Nature
|
Visitors to Budleigh Salterton always admire the soaring red cliffs and our colourful pebbles, but how did they get here and how did a local man discover the radioactive secret at the end of the beach?
The River Otter is the location of England’s first wild beaver reintroduction. The animals are thriving, but what impact will they have on our environment? |

Local History, Genealogy and Railways
|
Budleigh Salterton, its surrounding villages, coast and beautiful countryside may seem tranquil now but we’ve seen plenty of drama in the past and local people have helped to shape world history. Maybe your ancestors were among them?

Costumes, Lace and ToysOur wonderful collection includes many rare items, some up to 300 years old. Each year we choose different pieces to display, so don’t miss this year’s selection. Lace making once employed hundreds of local women and girls, and we have some exquisite examples of their work and the oldest trolly lace bobbin in England! This room also houses our toy collection.
