Join The Old Lawnmower Club on the green, green grassof Milton Keynes Museum

A tidy and trim lawn is something to be admired, and the sound of the mower and the smell of freshly cut grass epitomises hazy summer days, even if we don't all enjoy dragging the cutter around!

This being 'no mow May' you might have a little free time this weekend though, and Milton Keynes Museum has the perfect way to fill it; but attending The Old Lawnmower Club's annual rally at the Wolverton history hub.

The cutting-edge club boasts 100s of members as interest in the machines through the years continues to grow – much like that grass!

Anyone who has an interest in the development of these invaluable garden assistants will want to visit during the course of the weekend, with dozens of mowers expected to be lined up for inspection.

Aside from the rare mowers on show from club members, the Museum’s own fine collection will be open; Milton Keynes Museum is home to some of the earliest examples in existence.

The event is 'edging' nearer, and everyone is invited to visit on Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18 to check out the machinery of days past, see some in action and say 'Good mow-ning' to club members!
