The Friends Of Gilbert White’s House & Garden and The Oates Collection, works closely with the Trustees and staff to further the aims and objectives of the museum and to give active support.
Membership entitles Friends to participate in meetings, lectures, visits and social occasions. In addition, Friends enjoy free admission to the house and garden all year (except special event days) and receive three newsletters per year with news of developments at the museum and articles covering a wide range of topics relating to Gilbert White, Frank Oates and Captain Lawrence Oates.
Friends are given the opportunity to help at events during the year such as the annual Unusual Plants Fair, Gilbert White Weekend and Mulled Wine Day.
Each year the Friends make a gift to the museum, the most recent being a significant contribution to the cost of the reproduction bookcase in the Great Parlour which now houses a fabulous and extensive collection of ‘The Natural History of Selborne’
If you would like to join the Friends please telephone 01420 511275 or complete and return this form, with your payment.

Donations
The Museum’s main sources of income are admission charges and visitor spending in the shop and tea parlour. These sources help towards running costs but cannot finance restoration work or development projects. Additional funds are always required and if you feel you would like to make a donation we would be hugely grateful.
Legacies
You could help to ensure the long-term security of the Museum by leaving a legacy. It is easy to arrange and there is no limit to the amount you can bequeath.
For more information please contact us at the Museum.
