• A History of Orpington Priory and Bromley Museum
• The Romans in Bromley

Talks are usually up to an hour long and are supported with slides. If you would like a talk about a subject not listed above please contact the museum to discuss further.

Guided Tours of the Priory

Bromley Museum is situated in The Priory, Orpington, an important historic building set in attractive gardens. We are happy to give groups free guided tours of the building (including areas not usually open to the public) but we do need to know in advance, so call or email us to arrange a date. Between April and October Priory tours can be combined with a tour of Crofton Roman Villa.

Reminiscence Sessions

Bromley Museum is happy to visit groups to run reminiscence sessions and object handling sessions. We will bring original artefacts and photos to the session and discuss their history as a starting point. These sessions usually last for about one hour and can be themed or general. The Second World War tends to be a popular topic and always leads to interesting discussions.

Costs

The following charges apply:

• £25.00 per talk
• £25.00 per reminiscence session.
• Tours of The Priory are free.
