Calne Heritage Centre

Between 21 November and 16 December 2018 we are hosting a display of the work of local people who create art for a hobby rather than a living. As always admission is free with the works on display available for purchase. There is also a raffle to raise funds for the Calne Heritage Centre, with the winner receiving the framed and mounted squirrel shown below, which has been very kindly donated by Diane Haines. Here's a preview of just some of the many items to view at the exhibition. We hope to see you soon!

This morning on BBC Wiltshire Radio an interview with our very own Curator, Sue Boddington was aired regarding the Harris factories and the Pig Sculpture. You can listen to it here, along with a slideshow of the Calne pigs and various Harris artifacts we have here in the Heritage Centre.

Welcome to the Calne Heritage Centre website. Here you will find useful information on the Centre, its location and opening times, current and forthcoming events. Calne and the surrounding area can boast a wealth of wonderfully interesting historic events, pioneering and famous people, important trade developments and buildings of significant architectural interest. The Calne Heritage Centre tells the story of Calne and its surrounding areas through a series of display boards around the Centre supported by interactive computer systems, pictures and artefacts.

Here's a selection of photographs from the successful Calne Heritage Week. To view all of the photographs and captions, click the Facebook logo (no login required). A collection of photos taken during the Calne Heritage Week 2018. Posted by Calne Heritage Centre on  Saturday, 15 September 2018

We don't just have artifacts from Calne and the surrounding area. Due to our Twinning relationships, we also take care of the gifts that we receive from our twin towns in the US, France, and Germany. In this post, here are a few photos of gifts we have received over the years from Caln Township, who are celebrating their 150th Birthday this year. Caln Township anniversary coin. A selection of memorabilia from Caln. Calne Township bauble. Caln Township Hexagonal Schoolhouse. All of these items and more are available to view at Calne Heritage Centre .
