Becoming an Axminster Heritage member is one of the best ways you can support us….. and get something back for yourself.

Our Membership Discount Card scheme continues to be very popular with old and new members alike. As well as free entry to the Heritage Centre, Members also receive discounts for Heritage Alive events and in the Heritage Centre shop, and we are delighted to also include River Cottage Canteen, Acorn Gifts, Archway Bookshop, Axminster Printing, Sublyme Café and Trill Farm as partners.

Gifts in Wills
We know that your first priority when making a will is to provide for your loved ones, but many people find that even after they’ve done this they would like to leave something to a cause they hold dear. Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can support us. It costs nothing during your lifetime but will have a powerful impact for years to come. If you would like to leave a gift to Axminster Heritage we would recommend you speak to your solicitor.
