A Fenland museum will reopen its doors for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 lockdown to mark Heritage Weekend.
March and District Museum on High Street will open to the public on Saturday, September 12 – but will not continue its regular opening times.
The museum will not open on Wednesdays and Saturday openings for September, October and November will be shorter, from 10.30am to 2.30pm.
Visitors are reminded that the wearing masks inside the museum is now a legal requirement.
A spokesperson said: “The museum archivist will be on hand on September 12 to answer visitors’ questions.

“He is particularly keen to obtain local evidence of the lockdown, I.e. photographs, signs and personal recollections.
“There will also be a small exhibition on Pondersbridge kindly loaned by Whittlesey Museum.
