Become a Member

Members of Athelstan Museum are the backbone of our museum. There are c. 430 of us. Most come from Malmesbury and the surrounding district but others from further afield – Australia being the furthest. Membership categories include individual, joint, family, student and corporate.

For a minimum donation of £12 per annum or £200 life membership the Friends enjoy regular newsletters and are invited to the preview nights for our exhibitions and to lectures.

Why not join us? Or donate a membership to a friend or relative – it is a good way to keep in touch with the town.

To become a member, you can either:

  • download our membership form which gives our bank details for you to pay direct by setting up an annual standing order with your bank or pay by BACS.  If you prefer to pay by debit/ credit card, cheque or cash, this can be done in the museum.  In all cases please return the completed form to the museum so we know who you are! or
  • complete our online form with payment by Paypal.
