Dig for Victory Day

Watford Museum's Dig for Victory Day on 6th August 2005 was attended by three hundred people, who joined in a range of activities and enjoyed a variety of entertainment during a wonderful day. We'd like to thank Moonlight Theatre Company, Watford Fire Museum, Watford Band, and the many volunteers.
