Drayton Museum & Resource Centre

Drayton Civic Society is a membership organisation which welcomes anyone interested in the past, present, and future of Market Drayton and the surrounding area.
The Society aims to protect and encourage what is best in the built environment and to conserve and reveal our urban heritage.
It monitors and comments on planning applications for the Town, particularly those in the central and canal conservation areas.
It liaises with local councils and is represented on a number of other local and regional bodies. It has a wide range of publications and activities for members and visitors alike.
The Society has recently renovated a derelict shop (also a listed building) to create a Museum and Resource Centre. This houses the Society's collection of some 10000 artefacts and archives, collected over the past thirty five years. It's the story of Market Drayton and the surrounding area, from earliest times to today, told with things, pictures and words. Everything in it is associated with Drayton – either made here or with a special Drayton connection.It is open (with free admission) from April to October on Wednesday (Market Day) and on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.
Annual Membership fees are £5.00 for a retired family, £8.00 per year for working family and £10.00 for schools and corporate groups.
