Chippenham – Our History Information Event

Calling all individuals, community groups, schools, small businesses and local charities!

Be part of Chippenham’s history in 2026!

A brand-new and comprehensive history of Chippenham is being published, and we want the whole community to be involved.

To celebrate the publication of the Victoria County History, Volume 20 – Chippenham and the Surrounding Area, there will be exciting events at Chippenham Museum, the Town Hall, and the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre.

Now we need YOU!

Join us on Saturday 11th October at 11am in the Neeld Foyer to find out how you can get involved.

Whether you’d like to run a project, host an event or exhibition, or simply share your group’s story, we want to help make it happen.

How can you take part?

Create an exhibition

This is your chance to shape how Chippenham’s story is told and celebrated. Come along, be inspired, and get involved!
