So as not to cancel them in current circumstances, our speakers have very kindly agreed alternative arrangements with us.

These talks will now be provided by a private YouTube channel. To be able to join these virtual events you will need to send Susan Hoskin ([email protected]) your email address so you can be sent the link. Please note that bookings close 24 hours before each event.
 
There will be no charge for these talks but donations to The Friends would be extremely welcome either by cheque or by bank transfer to:
The Friends of Honeywood Museum: Sort code: 40-45-17: Acc No: 71222988

Thank you to all our members who returned the Voting Form in our postal AGM. All resolutions were agreed by the necessary majority of members. So all Trustees were re-elected, the Trustees' Report and accounts were agreed and will now be submitted to the Charity Commission.

Honeywood Museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00 on Fridays and Saturdays only. Entry will be free, but should be pre-booked from here, where all further details, and what to expect on arrival, are outlined. Please note that from 8 August face coverings will be made a mandatory requirement for visitors to wear during their visit.

Limited priority telephone bookings are available on 020 8770 4740.

Visits will be of one hour in duration and entry times will be staggered so that social distancing may be maintained. Donations are very welcome at this difficult time.

In addition to the permanent displays, two great new exhibitions will be showing. We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors again!

To encourage our younger visitors to explore the Museum and learn a little about some of the exhibits The Friends have made Activity Packs available. Choose one of the two booklets shown below when you arrive, and you’ll also receive a special Honeywood pencil and a pack of colouring pencils all for the pocket-money price of just £1.

Carshalton Artists and Arts Network Sutton artists were recently asked to exhibit pieces of work that expressed their personal experiences of Lockdown. This was added to the Local Diaries project (run by Sutton Council) and work produced by Sutton South Hello to create the current exhibitions at Honeywood Museum and Whitehall Historic House entitled ‘LOCKDOWN ART: Creativity Released’.
 
Neil Vaughan, from Carshalton Artists, recorded an informal walk around Whitehall and Honeywood whilst interviewing Jane Howard, Sutton's Heritage Development Officer: Learning.
 
The Exhibition is now showing live at both venues, and visits may be booked for Honeywood Museum here, and for Whitehall here.

We've added a new Click'n'Colour image, and new Click'n'Search puzzle (based on Croydon Aerodrome and Roundshaw) and another Click'n'Puzzle game to challenge you - all on our Pastimes page! Hope you enjoy them!!

We acknowledged the 75th Anniversary of VE Day on 8 May 2020, and throughout the week following, by placing the images below on our Home page.

The Tea Room at Honeywood Museum is now open for take-away, weather permitting, from 09:00-16:00 daily. Social-distancing is observed by queuing to be served from the Tea Room entrance. Great enterprise; please do support them.

We remember those of Carshalton with enormous gratitude.

In addition to this stirring image of Carshalton's War Memorials on our Home page, we have added two Click'n'Puzzle versions of the same image to our Pastimes page. One Easy (24 pieces) and one trickier (48 pieces). #VEDay75
