New Stock Line - Ale Ammunition Boxes

Volunteers within the Museum's Conservation area's have created a fantastic new product line within the Museum Shop. Ammunition Ale Boxes contain three bottle's of our very own Explosion Ale, produced at the award winning local Oakleaf Brewery. The boxes are made of redundant timber and resemble ammunition boxes that would have been used on the Priddy's Hard site in the past for storing munitions.

The boxes retail at £15.00 inc. VAT and can be purchased from the Shop. Orders can also be made by telephone for later collection. For more information about the boxes, please contact Phil Hazell on 023 9250 5600.

The museum's volunteers also make a variety of garden bird boxes, also on sale within the Museum Shop. All profits from the sale of these items go towards conservation projects within the Museum.
