The British Museum has scrapped the £30 per year charge for people who join its young membership scheme, in a move that’s likely to boost membership of potential long term supporters long into the future.

The Young Friends scheme offers a way for families to explore the collection and members receive the latest news on all family events and activities, as well as access to their Museum sleepovers.

The Young Friends is aimed at people aged 8–15 years old and offers:

Bi-weekly emails packed full of activities such as trails, quizzes and craft activities
Details of family events across the museum
Pre-booking for the museum’s famous sleepovers
Digital copies of Remus magazine three times a year and access to the full archive

Parents/carers of young people can sign up for the Young Friends scheme on their behalf here.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

Thank you
