Dunham House large holiday home, group accommodation

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 search Retford Arts Hub Facebook page

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.
