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.

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.

As clocks go forward this weekend Wiltshire Council will be launching a new drive to encourage more people to spring into action and foster with Wiltshire Council.
