One Town, 25 Objects, 6,000 Years of History!

Step into the fascinating story of Uttoxeter at Redfern’s Cottage with The History of Uttoxeter in 25 Objects – a brand-new temporary exhibition celebrating 6,000 years of local heritage!

From ancient flint tools to cutting-edge JCB innovations, this exhibition brings the town’s rich past to life through 25 carefully chosen artefacts from the museum’s collection. Inspired by the British Museum’s A History of the World in 100 Objects, our dedicated volunteer archivists have curated a unique journey through time, revealing how Uttoxeter has been shaped by its environment and its people.

Running until the end of September, this must-see exhibition is included with general museum admission (£3, free for accompanied under 16s). Come and explore the incredible history of a town that’s full of surprises!
