As the museum is free to visitors, donations and income from events are very important to us. You can help by becoming a Member, Friend or Patron of the museum.
Members (£12 per year for an individual, or £20 per year for a family) can join any of our groups.
Friends (£30 per year individual, £45 family) have the same benefits as members, and have free entry to all talks.
Patrons (£60 per year individual, £90 family) also enjoy free entry to all talks and events, as well as invitations to special smaller events held by the museum. Patrons can also use areas of the museum for functions, for example free hire of the garden for a birthday party (one per year).
If you would like to become a member of Blandford Museum, simply download and complete a Membership form and send it to us with a cheque for the appropriate membership fee. You can also pay by annual standing order or BACS transfer, or in cash at the Museum.
Click on the links below to download the Membership and Standing Order forms. These are available as editable (Word) documents that can be filled in on-screen (as long as you have compatible software), or as PDF documents if you prefer to fill them in by hand. (If the forms do not open on a new page, click the Download button on your browser or check your Downloads folder.) You can also submit your membership application on-line (new for 2026!).
