Started in 2015 as a community venture to
help support the local economy, the Retford Hub, or to give it its full name,
the North Notts Artisan & Tourist Information Centre, operated for 6 years to
provide:
local arts & crafts * art gallery *
mayflower pilgrim museum * tourist information * cafe
local food *
artist studios * workshops & classes * UK
central
In 2021 the Hub changed ownership and can
still be found operating as the Retford Arts Hub in Retford. For further details

The mayflower pilgrim museum was closed but a
room dedicated to the story of the Pilgrim Fathers can be found at Bassetlaw
Museum, Grove Street
This site now acts as a tribute to the many
hours put in by volunteers to support the venture and as a thank you to those
organisations and companies that provided financial support including:
Bassetlaw District Council
Nottinghamshire County Council
Ye Olde Bell
10 Green Bottles
Paintman
Arts Council
Church of England
Mike Quigley - Councillor
Over the 6 years we ran exhibitions in our
fabulous gallery. In addition we hosted the Rotary Young Artist Competition for
3 years with the final year attracting hundreds of entries from over a dozen
schools. Thank you to the artists, volunteers and all those that helped.
Here are a few examples:

Competition is open to all Primary School Children in the area and creates a
real 'splash of colour in the Gallery over the half term period. In 2019 7
schools took part and the school deemed to have the best collective entries was
