Becoming a Friend is a great way to show your support and get the most out of Derby Museums.

How you help us:

As a registered charity, Derby Museums relies on the generosity of all our supporters to help keep the museums and our collections fantastic and free for everyone. That’s why every Friend is important to us. With your support, we can continue to create opportunities for lifelong learning and enjoyment.

How we thank you:

Becoming a Friend offers various perks that will enrich your experience with Derby Museums, such as discounts in all of our shops and cafés, and access to exclusive talks and coffee mornings that will help you to become part of a community of like-minded people. A Friends Membership also makes a great present for someone who enjoys visiting Derby Museums or loves arts, culture and heritage!
