There is no admission charge for Folkestone Museum. We aim to keep access free for all – to achieve that, we need your support.
If you enjoy your visit, please donate to us! We suggest a minimum donation of £2.00.
If you’d like to donate for a specific project, make a bequest, or sponsor one of our artefacts, please email museum@folkestone-tc.gov.uk or call us on 01303 257946.
The museum also accepts donations of objects to the museum’s collection. We do not accept objects on long-term or ‘permanent’ loan.
We are most interested in items that tell the story of the Folkestone and Hythe District Council area after 1945 and also from the late-medieval to Georgian periods.
In the first instance please download and complete an object offer form. We do not accept objects sent by post or handed in at our front desk without a form.
