With the launch of two new community groups this Autumn, staff at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre hope to bring residents together to collect and preserve Wiltshire's rich heritage.

Emmy-winning and BAFTA nominated wildlife cameraman, James Aldred, will be visiting Wiltshire libraries this September as part of a regional tour.

Visitors and local residents in Pewsey and Trowbridge can now enjoy exploring their local history and cultural heritage with the towns being the latest to be added to the 'Explore Wiltshire' heritage app.

Library staff have used innovative approaches to continue providing online resources and group sessions during the pandemic, including rhyme times, story times, tea and chat sessions, book reviews, author talks and 'how to' guides

The flag at County Hall, Trowbridge will be lowered on Wednesday 27 January 2021 as Wiltshire Council marks Holocaust Memorial Day, but due to Covid-19 restrictions there will be no formal ceremony this year.
