This will be the 10th year that Mansfield has hosted Inspire’s popular FREE history event and we’ll be celebrating with a fun-filled day of activities and attractions! Join us to explore pop-up museums and local history displays, find out about family history, browse the books for sale, and get hands-on with fun crafts and activities for all the family.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the Beatles performing in Mansfield, there will also be themed music performances during the day.
