Events and Trips
We try to arrange a programme of trips and events for Friends. The following will be updated as details are known. Trips are usually held mid-week (i.e. Tuesday to Thursday), whereas Talks are mostly on Mondays when the Museum is closed. Suggestions for venues are welcomed by e-mailing Trips@FSMA.uk
NEW – We have introduced an on-line booking facility to make it easier for you to reserve your place. You will be able to select any options and receive an e-mail confirmation and reminder. If you have any comments / difficulties with this (and not about the event), please e-mail david@fsma.uk
Next Committee meeting is at 1.00pm on Monday 9h November 2026 at Salford Museum
We always welcome any member who wishes to contribute to the running of FSMA. Please e-mail secretary@FSMA.uk for more information
Tour of the Museum Collections by Peter Ogilvie, Collections Manager
Monday 30th November 2026
Tickets will be allocated to FSMA members on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and likely to get booked up rapidly
A unique oportunity to go behind the scenes and see the collection in the Museum’s basement. Since space is limited, Peter will escort just four people at a time in a tour lasting about 20 minutes. To complement the tour, Steve Illingworth will arrange a display of old materials relating to FSMA in the Local History Library. Use the booking button above
Christmas Concert
Monday 7th December at 12.00
Refreshments are available after the concert
Following last year’s hugely successful concert, the Kell Wind Trio will again perform in the Victorian Gallery at the Museum. Playing a flute, clarinet & bassoon, they will play music of many different styles and genres from baroque to contemporary. Tickets are free to FSMA members but booking is essential using the button above
All Friends of Salford Museums’ Association are warmly invited to attend any of these events. Please use the on-line booking so that we have an indication of numbers likely to attend. On some visits there may be spare places in a Friend’s car so please e-mail trips@fsma.uk if that would be helpful to you. Do e-mail to find out any more information or to suggest venues for future trips.
