2023 will bring our biggest prop and merchandise display ever. There will be family trails and activities and the exhibition will run from Friday 20 October 2023 – Sunday 21 January 2024.
This year, we invite you to celebrate some key movie and TV anniversaries. West Suffolk Heritage Service is working in partnership with charities, private collectors, and screen used prop professionals, to provide an array of fan favourites in the galleries.
2023 marks the 40th Anniversary of ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’ and the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, the displays will include screen used and production made props, legacy edition items and much more!
In addition, there will be an amazing Ridley Scott Collection to celebrate one of the greatest living British movie directors. It will include screen used props from the Oscar winning director’s films Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood, and Black Hawk Down, to name a few.
The exhibition will feature original props from Hollywood blockbusters ‘The Mummy’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. This is looking to be the biggest display in the 12 years the event has been running with over 100 props on display!
There will also be special events and workshops throughout the exhibition calendar.
