This webinar is offered as part of the Museum Futures wraparound programme. The Museum Futures programme of essential support has been developed in direct response to the significant and ongoing financial and capacity challenges faced by the sector.
We are joined by Caroline Mathers, Director at The Stirling Smith Museum, to hear about the successes she has had, and the challenges she has faced, when running a museum café. Hear about the introduction of the new shop and how that has helped to increase café footfall.
