Roy 'Chubby' Brown officially opened The Joe Longthorne MBE Museum on Saturday 29 August 2020. Delayed from the spring due to the Covid 19 lockdown this year, the doors finally opened up at 4pm to a VIP invited audience and members of Joe's legendary Friendship Club.

Chubby . a dear friend of Joe, was delighted to be asked to perform the ceremony.

The Museum, at The Joe Longthorne Theatre , is now open 12 to 5pm daily and 9.30pm on show evenings in the theatre.
