Welcome to John Clare Cottage!
The historic home of John Clare – poet and early environmentalist
Our beautiful heritage site in north Cambridgeshire boasts a fascinating museum, a welcoming community café, gift shop, and gardens.
Everyone is welcome. Entry to the museum, housed in Clare’s former home, is ticketed — but the café, shop, and gardens are free to enjoy.
Could you support us as a trustee?
We’re currently looking to expand our board of trustees to support the exciting next chapter of Clare Cottage. We’ve had strong interest so far but haven’t yet appointed, and we’re especially keen to hear from local people who are passionate about heritage, learning, and access to nature. We’re also particularly interested in those with professional experience in law or accounting.
As a trustee, you’ll play a vital role in shaping our strategy and ensuring the long-term sustainability of Clare Cottage, while helping us promote Clare’s powerful messages – our timeless right to, and responsibility for, the natural world – to wider audiences.
