The Milton Keynes Museum is set to host its second annual Community and Culture Celebration on Saturday, 25 July 2026. This free, family-friendly event invites residents to the museum grounds at McConnell Drive, Wolverton, to explore the various cultures that contribute to the city’s identity.

Running from 10:30am to 4:30pm, the festival features a range of activities, including live performances, hands-on workshops, and interactive experiences. Visitors will also have the opportunity to sample food and drinks provided by local vendors from across Milton Keynes.

The event is made possible through funding from the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, which supports the museum’s effort to provide an inclusive space for all residents. Following a successful first event in 2025, organisers are building on the momentum as the city prepares for its 60th anniversary in 2027.

Entry to the museum for the day is free, and no pre-booking is required for those wishing to attend. As an independent charity, the museum relies on regular visitor support, but this specific celebration aims to bring the community together to share in the heritage of the city, which was established as a planned new city in 1967.
