Help us to tell the story of Broomfield House and Park

Broomfield House and Park has been at the heart of this community for nearly 500 years — a family estate, a school, a clinic, a museum, and a café.

Now, as our beloved bandstand reaches its centenary and Broomfield House is given a new lease of life as a historic ruin, we want to make sure stories of the house and park are recorded and told properly; and we need your help to do it.

Whether you have personal memories of the house and park, a passion for local history, or skills in research or community outreach, there's a role for you. You don't need any prior connection to the house or its history — curiosity and enthusiasm are just as valuable as lived experience. This is a genuine opportunity to shape what visitors of all ages learn and discover about this remarkable place — and to help connect the wider community with a history that belongs to all of us.

We're looking for people to help with:

•  Sharing and collecting memories and oral histories
•  Researching the house and park
•  Telling interesting stories
•  Reaching out across the community
•  Helping make the history of this place relevant and exciting for new audiences

All levels of experience are welcome. You can give as little as a couple of hours or get more involved over the coming months.
