A tourism push by the visitor centre created a bustle but we lost our support from MLA/Renaissance

2012 again seven museums worked together Visit Bath & Visit England funded a joint leaflet

In 2012 we worked with 2nd year heritage students to create our event at the Roman Baths. It brought in a different audience!

2013

Again several museums were open but we didn’t have any joint publicity.50th anniversary celebrations at the Fashion Museum so an excuse for Georgian dancing and champagne tasting!

2014

• What about 2014?• We have the will to join together.• We don’t really have the funding so have to use

the online facility from Culture 24 and make the most of what it has to offer.

• Members of VisitBath can have an online events page.

• Local publicity via the Council’s press officer and each museum’s own publicity machine.
