Following extensive renovations to recreate the new Stone Age to Corinium galleries, the Corinium Museum unveils its plans to welcome businesses from Gloucestershire and beyond.

The Museum is holding a drinks reception on Thursday 30th September, from 5.30 pm – 7.30 pm. This will be an opportunity for businesses to visit the museum to explore the inspiring spaces available to hire and to learn about corporate membership and sponsorship opportunities.

Amanda Hart, Museum Director explains, “I had the vision to create an award-winning attraction, a community hub and centre for learning, as well as attracting business to drive the economic development of Cirencester and the Cotswolds. With a renewed optimism that Covid-19 restrictions are lifting, our event rooms are fully equipped and business ready.”
