Time-capsule workshop
Maidstone Museum, St. Faiths Street, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 1LH
What would you like people in the future to know about life today? Join us this Heritage Open Days for a special time capsule event, where visitors of all ages are invited to help capture a snapshot of our lives, stories, and experiences in the present day.
Take part in creative activities, share memories, write messages to the future, or contribute ideas that reflect everyday life now. Together, we’ll decide what should be preserved and sealed away as a time capsule for future generations to discover. This drop‑in, hands‑on event is a chance to reflect on our shared heritage — and what we choose to pass on.
Free entry as part of Heritage Open Days. Everyone welcome.
