Maeldune Heritage Centre

We are the proud custodians of The Maldon Embroidery providing talks and information on the magnificent 42ft display to reveal the story behind the embroidery featuring the Battle of Maldon and Maldon History to enhance our visitor’s experience.

Visitors to our Exhibition Hall during the year are able to view and enjoy a variety of work from local artists and members of local groups, including photography, paintings – contemporary, watercolours, pastels, prints, textiles, fused glass and jewellery art work, multi media and much more. Our exhibition changes every three weeks. For more information visit our exhibition page.

Maldon Society photographic and video archive touch screen and oral listening station provide a rare opportunity to hear local real life stories, told by the people themselves – do come and try it for yourself!

Our Gift Shop is full of unique craft items from our wonderful local artists and craftspeople.
