Support Spalding Gentlemen’s Society

Spalding Gentlemen’s Society is Britain’s oldest surviving provincial learned society and second oldest museum. We believe that curiosity, discovery and the search for knowledge can and should be nurtured and open to all.

We provide access to our collections and offer innovative social and educational projects for everyone. Spalding Gentlemen’s Society is a registered charity and we rely on donations and grants to fund this vital work. We are grateful for every donation.
