Newark & Sherwood District Council

We have lots of interesting projects and groups for people of all ages and abilities for you to join.

Whether it’s promoting our services, delving into our past or fund raising for our Heritage Lottery Fund bid your Museum Needs You!

Our major project at the moment is our plan to create a new museum for Newark incorporating a National Civil War Centre. We are working towards securing Heritage Lottery funding to turn the Old Magnus Buildings in Appletongate, Newark into an exciting visitor attraction.

If successful, the creation of a new museum, will replace the current museums in Newark.

Read more about the project on our National Civil War Centre project page.
