Loan Boxes
Horsham Museum and Art Gallery runs a popular Reminiscence loans service, tailored for care homes and carers in the district.
How to borrow a loan box
This service is free in the Horsham District and is available from Monday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm only.
- Choose a box from the list of loan boxes.
- Telephone the Museum on 01403 254959 allowing three working days before you wish to collect your box. This is because the services is administered by volunteers. Have a second and third choice in case your first choice is not available. You will be able to return a box and borrow one at the same time.
- Come into the Museum to collect your loan box, allowing time to sign the loan box form.
If you need help in using our Reminiscence boxes training is offered by the Museum either for individuals or small groups. Please telephone the Museum on 01403 254959 for further details or to book a session.
