JOIN THE FRIENDS TODAY

 
Join the Friends of The Museum and help to support and sustain one of the most important military history collections in the country.

You can get involved as much or as little as you wish.

Opportunities range from direct involvement in the running and development of the Museum,  to simply enjoying reading  at home some of the fascinating features, drawn from 320 years of history,  in our annual magazine

Or join us on our popular annual Battlefield Tours to the Continent,  and occasionally beyond.

Benefits include:

  • Privileged access to the collection's library & archives

  • Free research and assistance

  • Publications, including all issues of "Lancashire Lad"

  • Reduced Entry Fees for all Museum-organised special events and social occasions

  • Members' Privileges on all special events and social occasions, including annual Battlefield Tours

Our members are drawn from all walks of life, brought together by their common interest in military history. Many are former members of The Queen's Lancashire Regiment or its antecedents, but there are others who either served in other units, or indeed the other Armed Forces. Many  have seen no service but are keen amateur historians. One collects and restores old military vehicles, and at least one is an expert war gamer. There is something in the Friends for everyone - all you need is an interest in history.
