Having made its debut appearance at the Spalding Pumpkin Festival in October 2026, the Cabinet of Curiosities will now be touring the town and its surrounding areas over the next few months!Peer inside its drawers, take part in creative activities, explore its many treasures, and contribute your own memories.
The Cabinet will next be appearing at RSPB Frampton Marsh's Visitor Centre on Saturday 16th January 2027, 11am-3pm.
Created by artist Steven Hatton Electric Egg in collaboration with Transported and Spalding Gentlemen’s Society, this extraordinary travelling cabinet is packed with hidden treasures, curious objects, heritage-inspired artworks and hands-on activities celebrating the rich history of South Holland and the collections of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society Museum.
An activity for all ages, no booking required and free – perfect if you’re looking for budget-friendly family fun after a busy Christmas and to start the year off in a creative way.
Explore the cabinet to uncover fascinating artefacts and themed collections, discover artwork inspired by Spalding’s ARTeFACT Trail, and try your hand at creating cyanotype. Cyanotypes are an early Victorian photographic technique that doesn’t require a camera. Create your own heritage or South Lincolnshire-inspired print, and take home a beautiful artwork. Perfect for all ages and abilities!
Members of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society team will also be joining us, giving visitors the opportunity to learn more about the museum's remarkable collection, ask questions, and find out about exciting future plans while the museum building undergoes renovation.
The project is possible thanks to SoundLincs' Future of the Past project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, made possible thanks to National Lottery players. The project is also supported by Transported through Arts Council England's Creative People and Places programme, funded by the National Lottery.
