Our new Exhibition which is proving very popular is called 'Something Borrowed Something Blue'

An exhibition of Weddings in Bloxham over the centuries with lots of old wedding group pictures, many of them named. Also Wedding memorabilia with wedding presents and bottom drawer collections.

Also displayed round the Museum are about 21 posters giving details of old wedding traditions. One of them is “CHOOSING THE DAY”  which reads  Monday for Wealth, Tuesday for Health, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses Saturday for no luck at all. Although most weddings take place on a Saturday. It was considered unlucky in the past. Fridays were also considered unlucky, particularly Friday 13th.
