Make a Donation

As a charity, Burwell Museum Trust welcomes all donations, and every single pound we receive goes towards securing the future of the
museum and delivering its education programme, events and other activities.

Cash donations are welcome at the museum during your visit. You can drop coins down the Miller’s Well (situated between the windmill and the main gate) or in the butter churn by the entrance to the Barn. Donations by cash, card and cheque can also be made in the Admission Hut and the Tea Room.

Below are other methods of donating when you are not at the museum itself.
