Supporting the Future: Afternoon Tea at The Bowes Museum

Sold out
Legacy Event
20 Nov 2025
1:45pm - 3:30pm

Join us for a special afternoon tea at The Bowes Museum to celebrate the lasting impact of legacies and the generosity of those who help safeguard our future. 

During this relaxed and inspiring event, you’ll hear about how gifts in Wills have helped shape the museum and ensure the collection and parkland continue to inspire future generations. Our team will share how legacy support makes a real difference, followed by a presentation from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, who will offer practical advice on leaving a charitable gift in your Will and the potential tax benefits of doing so. 

Enjoy tea, cakes and conversation in the elegant setting of the museum, and discover how you can play a part in continuing the vision of our founders, Joséphine and John Bowes.
