Birchington Heritage Trust

The Birchington Heritage Trust was established in May 2002 and was granted Charity status in August 2003. We now have over 200 members.

The Aims of the Trust are firstly to research, discover and record Birchington's interesting 3,500 years of history. We now have opened a small local museum in the Centre (behind the library) where we display some of our collected items and do research for members of the public and local schools. We also make the material available for students to do their own research.

The Trust holds four General Meetings a year, which include talks and to which all are welcome (visitors £1.00).

We deliver four newsletters detailing our events and publishing contributions from members and the public. We have a social group who help with our fund-raising and present a variety of interesting events including Wine and Wisdom nights, Dances, Jazz Concerts etc. We organise exhibitions in the local gallery at the Library and some local businesses allow us to display material in their windows.
