Exhibitions

Join us for “Napery over the years”, an exhibition running from March 2026, showcasing some of our fascinating Tablecloths and Serviettes.

Not just any Tablecloths but special ones from 1888,1916 and early to late 1900s.

These are examples of beautiful embroidery, Battenberg work and crochet work with fascinating and moving stories regarding their creation.

Part of the Heritage Artisan Faire workshops, Forging History runs during Redlands Coast AdventureFest (15–24 May) and the Redlands Coast Gallery and Museum Hop (23–24 May). This exhibition explores the history of the Museum’s volunteer blacksmith, the Blacksmith Shed, and the tools and techniques of traditional forging. Visitors can see handcrafted items including decorative bells, hearts, and poppies, with select pieces available for purchase in the Museum Shop.

Live demonstrations take place Thursday and Saturday mornings—call the Museum for details.
