Special exhibitions are mounted on a regular basis, covering subjects as diverse as the annual Newlands Day Procession, local anniversaries, and subjects of general interest, such as toys. If anyone has copies of Newlands’ Day Procession programmes from pre-world war 1 between the wars or 1946 to 1950 and are willing to donate or lend them to the Museum we would be pleased to hear from you as this would enable us to complete our collection. The museum organises public lectures on specific subjects twice a year. These are normally held in May and November, in the Regal Theatre, Bathgate.
