Museum of Miniature Found Objects

All tickets have now been sold for the Great Feast of the Pie at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects on New Year's Day. Those members of the public without tickets will still be able to observe the traditional Carrolling of the Pie in the Great Court at the museum. This much-loved practice goes back to 1839, when the Board of Trustees generously provided an evening of feasting and games for the orphans from the nearby Home for Waifs and Strays, and as the great pie was carried into the museum, the children sang its welcome. By tradition this event is held each year on New Year's Day, as it was on that very first occasion. Today, 174 years later, the Home for Waifs and Strays now being closed, money raised from the ticket sales is donated to children's charities.
