The mouthwatering menu from @angelas_of_margate which will be served to our guests as part of the ‘Fun with Fungi’ experience has been released!
Tuck into local oyster mushroom & Wensleydale quiche with dressed garden salad of roots & leaves and pink fir apple potatoes.
Followed by pearl barley ‘risotto’ of pumpkin & mushroom.
And if that isn’t cosy and delicious enough, for dessert there’s hazelnut meringue with apple, pear & ginger. Irresistible!
Our garden workshops are fantastically caterered for, offering a really unique experience and of course, all dietary requirements are catered for, providing we are told at the time of booking.
Tickets for our event are still available but be quick- it’s on Saturday! Pre-booking essential - presales finish Thursday at 4pm!

It’s only just started, but the transferral of a significant part of the Museum’s animal skeletons to a more suitable storage facility is already making good progress. Our Museum Team Members are helping the Collections team to label, bag, and transport a variety of long horned mammal skulls.
Our museum team are always on hand to welcome you on open days so please do ask them about our behind the scenes work!
📷1: Labelled and bagged skeletal material in temporary storage areas.
📷2: Grant’s Gazelle skull from East Africa, bagged and in temporary storage.

Take a look behind the scenes with us...
At the moment, we’re carefully transferring some of our collection of animal skeletons to a more suitable storage facility. This process of packing, treating and moving objects is very delicate and time-consuming. Our Museum Team Members are helping the Collections team to label, bag, and transport a variety of long-horned mammal skulls. It is vital that the objects in our care are protected from damage, are easily accessible to staff and researchers, and are stored safely and securely. Every object’s movement is carefully recorded to ensure our inventory is correct and we know where each object is now stored.
Image: Helen Shaw, Museum Team Member with her favourite skull (so far), a Reedbuck from East Africa.
