Copeland Residents Go Free At The Beacon
Copeland Residents Go Free
Copeland residents can now enjoy free admission into the Beacon Museum with the reintroduction of the Copeland Pass.
Re-launching the initiative during November, The Copeland Pass grants those who reside in the Copeland free entry into the museum during specified periods, and with a number of exciting exhibitions now on display, there is no better time to pay a visit.
Alan Irwin, Business Development Manager at the museum, said: “We are trying to build on our connection with the community, and show not just Whitehaven residents, but all of Copeland that they have a fantastic museum on their doorstep. With a really exciting program of events coming up, we want to give more people opportunities to get involved over the next few months.”
The museum’s current exhibitions include Mummers, Maypoles and Milkmaids, an exploration into some of England’s most obscure regional customs and Wildlife Photographer of the Year, featuring 100 spectacular images, from fascinating animal behaviour to breath-taking landscapes. In January Wycinanki – the Art of Polish Paper Cuts will be on show along with various workshops and activities throughout.
The free passes grant entry into the entire Beacon Museum, including the permanent Changing Times and Sellafield Story exhibits. Certain specified periods are excluded when feature exhibitions (such as the recent Brick City exhibition in summer 2016) come to the museum. The current Copeland Pass window runs until March 24 2017.
To make the most of this fantastic opportunity, all you have to do is pop into the museum with proof of address (bank statement, utility bill) – a 10 per cent discount in the Beacon Museum Shop will be included when registering. Residents can sign up at any time during the year and visitors must then show their pass each time they visit the museum. You can access full terms and conditions, including how to use the pass for children and family members using the following methods.
