Significant events

• “Events are an important part of the Museum's calendar, with 45,000 people immersed in the unique evening atmosphere of the Museum and often dressing the part. Highlights included Red by Night, 1960s evening, getting spooky at Halloween, the growing popularity of our Festival of Light, Christmas, and of course Peaky Blinders.”
• “I pay tribute to those members of staff who lost their jobs at the Museum, during an essential restructuring in the early part of 2025.”
• “Very sadly there were staff and volunteers who died during 2025. Amongst these were long-standing and wonderful volunteers Les Millington (May 2025) and Alan Allcock (November 2025), former volunteer Margaret Carrington (February 2025), and former members of staff, Linda Larner (December 2025), and Pam Ryan (December 2025).”
