Documenting Life in Lockdown
East Grinstead Museum is collecting photographs and short films of daily life, both at home and in the town, along with creative works or a short diary that have been inspired by the pandemic lockdown.
Our aim is to capture diverse experiences - sad or joyful - and to reflect East Grinstead's diversity.
Healthwatch West Sussex is keen to understand how lockdown has affected people’s health and wellbeing.
East Grinstead Museum will be using these contributions to create an exhibition that reflects how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted life in East Grinstead and surrounding villages.
To begin this process, two questionnaires were active during March and April 2021 on both websites. One for businesses and the other for individuals. These surveys were promoted to local businesses and voluntary and community groups in the East Grinstead area.
