Welcome to Kegworth Heritage Centre
Building the connections between our past, our present, and the future
If you're interested in
Volunteering at KHC
please do get in touch with us either by email, message us via our FB page or by popping in when we're open or on Wednesday afternoon when we have our volunteering day. We'd love to speak with you!
First thing this morning we got the news that Kegworth Heritage Centre has been awarded
Full Accreditation
status by the Arts Council England.
This is a huge milestone for us and is a fantastic achievement given our small size and limited budget. And all the more amazing when you consider that this time three years ago we were closed and the future looked even bleaker than the weather. It is a testament to what an amazing group of dedicated volunteers can achieve!
The Heritage Centre will next be open on May 3rd 2026 from 10:00 until 14:00
If you've never been to KHC before and are worried about access, we have created a dedicated page to explain our access policy and our plans for the future. You can read it
here
.
***Our opening hours are changing slightly this year to tie in better with other village events ***
We are normally open between 10:00 and 14:00 on alternating Sundays starting on 19th April until October, but please come back and check here for the latest updates. We welcome private visits at other times but please give us at least two weeks notice. Please contact us via email.
Video Report from KHC Chair
On March 16th Kegworth Parish Council held its annual Community Meeting in the KPC Offices. Along with all the village community groups we were invited to submit a report and posters for the event. Our chairman created this video report which was played at the meeting.
Our New GoFundMe campaign is active

Our Blog Page has been updated with our Spring Editorial (February 2026)
We are constantly looking for ways to improve this website, especially as the amount of content increases. The latest update is our blog page which can found
here
.
UPDATE - 20th February 2026
- Spring update has been published on the
blog
For quite a few years you will have seen (mostly) quarterly updates from the Chairman appearing on the home page. We hope you find them useful. They are intended to serve as communication devices to our audience to let you know what's going on with KHC beyond the normal events and activities but they have a secondary purpose in creating a reference archive for the heritage centre.
Until now, these editorials have usually been copied into the news and events page but they become difficult to find and they aren't indexed anywhere, so from an archivist's perspective they aren't very helpful. This is also a time consuming activity and it's easy to make mistakes as it is a mechanical process of cutting and pasting. Because the original material is kept on the website servers, they also consume valuable space and a better solution is required to manage them.
In future the we will use this blog page to serve as the definitive archive for KHC editorials and other articles. The first few items are in place and we will bring older articles into the library over the next few months.
The Kegworth Railway Station Sign is Home!
The Kegworth Railway Station sign is now part of the KHC Collection! A full update will follow but thank you to those people who contributed to our GoFundMe Campaign, which we have now closed. We have taken ownership and it is now on display.
Donating Items for the KHC Collection
We’re incredibly grateful for the support our community shows the Heritage Centre. However, we kindly ask everyone to remember that we are a museum, not a local tip or a drop-off point for house clearances.
Unannounced or inappropriate donations—especially items left outside the museum—can unfortunately cause more harm than good. They take up valuable space, create unnecessary work for our volunteers, and may not meet the Centre’s collecting criteria - and may even end up costing us money that we can ill-afford.
If you believe you have an item of genuine historical interest to Kegworth or the surrounding area, please get in touch with us first. We’d be happy to advise whether it’s something we can accept or suggest a more appropriate home.
Please be aware that unsolicited items left without prior agreement may be disposed of at our discretion, as we are unable to store or assess everything that is left for us.

Useful Info
Welcome to Kegworth Heritage Centre
Building the connections between our past, our present, and the future
If you're interested in
Volunteering at KHC
please do get in touch with us either by email, message us via our FB page or by popping in when we're open or on Wednesday afternoon when we have our volunteering day. We'd love to speak with you!
First thing this morning we got the news that Kegworth Heritage Centre has been awarded
Full Accreditation
status by the Arts Council England.
This is a huge milestone for us and is a fantastic achievement given our small size and limited budget. And all the more amazing when you consider that this time three years ago we were closed and the future looked even bleaker than the weather. It is a testament to what an amazing group of dedicated volunteers can achieve!
The Heritage Centre will next be open on May 3rd 2026 from 10:00 until 14:00
If you've never been to KHC before and are worried about access, we have created a dedicated page to explain our access policy and our plans for the future. You can read it
here
.
***Our opening hours are changing slightly this year to tie in better with other village events ***
We are normally open between 10:00 and 14:00 on alternating Sundays starting on 19th April until October, but please come back and check here for the latest updates. We welcome private visits at other times but please give us at least two weeks notice. Please contact us via email.
Video Report from KHC Chair
On March 16th Kegworth Parish Council held its annual Community Meeting in the KPC Offices. Along with all the village community groups we were invited to submit a report and posters for the event. Our chairman created this video report which was played at the meeting.
Our New GoFundMe campaign is active

Our Blog Page has been updated with our Spring Editorial (February 2026)
We are constantly looking for ways to improve this website, especially as the amount of content increases. The latest update is our blog page which can found
here
.
UPDATE - 20th February 2026
- Spring update has been published on the
blog
For quite a few years you will have seen (mostly) quarterly updates from the Chairman appearing on the home page. We hope you find them useful. They are intended to serve as communication devices to our audience to let you know what's going on with KHC beyond the normal events and activities but they have a secondary purpose in creating a reference archive for the heritage centre.
Until now, these editorials have usually been copied into the news and events page but they become difficult to find and they aren't indexed anywhere, so from an archivist's perspective they aren't very helpful. This is also a time consuming activity and it's easy to make mistakes as it is a mechanical process of cutting and pasting. Because the original material is kept on the website servers, they also consume valuable space and a better solution is required to manage them.
In future the we will use this blog page to serve as the definitive archive for KHC editorials and other articles. The first few items are in place and we will bring older articles into the library over the next few months.
The Kegworth Railway Station Sign is Home!
The Kegworth Railway Station sign is now part of the KHC Collection! A full update will follow but thank you to those people who contributed to our GoFundMe Campaign, which we have now closed. We have taken ownership and it is now on display.
Donating Items for the KHC Collection
We’re incredibly grateful for the support our community shows the Heritage Centre. However, we kindly ask everyone to remember that we are a museum, not a local tip or a drop-off point for house clearances.
Unannounced or inappropriate donations—especially items left outside the museum—can unfortunately cause more harm than good. They take up valuable space, create unnecessary work for our volunteers, and may not meet the Centre’s collecting criteria - and may even end up costing us money that we can ill-afford.
If you believe you have an item of genuine historical interest to Kegworth or the surrounding area, please get in touch with us first. We’d be happy to advise whether it’s something we can accept or suggest a more appropriate home.
Please be aware that unsolicited items left without prior agreement may be disposed of at our discretion, as we are unable to store or assess everything that is left for us.
