Brew Up! Industrial Collections Network: National Emergency Services Museum, Sheffield
Brew Up! brings together people who work with industrial collections in the North of England, from mill engines to computers, from agricultural to glass; a chance to learn and share. Join us to connect with colleagues across the region, discuss issues unique to industrial collections and find key advice and insight from experienced professionals.
This session at the Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield will focus on how to build a visitor base and increase education visits.
