Educating Zerena exhibition & events programme @MK_Gallery ends today. It's been a fantastic opportunity to reveal the 1988 story of when spaceship crash landed & an alien stayed with the children of a #miltonkeynes estate. Next stop? Welcome to Planet Fishermead!...

We really enjoyed our forum Archiving Milton Keynes this morning, hosted by @MKMuseum . A good range of speakers sharing different perspectives about what the archive is and could be. @CultureMK Well done everyone!

Take part in our acorn collection challenge! All you need to do is collect acorns from Howe Park, Shenley, or Linford wood and plant them into a pot. Then, keep them watered and care for them for 1-2 years until they are strong enough for our team to plant them🌱
