Culture Rescue Fund
We are delighted to be receiving funding support from the Culture Recovery Fund. This is key in helping us adapt to the covid-19 impact and allowing us to maintain our magnificent Grade 1 listed site, which has been as school for over 300 years.
We are a multi-user site; home to Appleby’s primary school, pre-school, community activities, local businesses and heritage centre. These funds will make a big difference in supporting lost income due to cancelled events, essential facility upgrades and digitising our museum collection.
Thank you DCMS and the National Heritage Lottery Fund!
