Be Part of the Next Chapter in the Story of Riflemen!

For over 200 years, Riflemen have stood apart—soldiers whose innovation, bold ideas, and independent thought and action changed the face of warfare forever. Since 1989, The Rifleman’s Museum has worked to bring that story to life.

Now, we’re building something new, and we want you to be part of it.

We’re creating a powerful, immersive new gallery that brings the story of Rifleman right up the present day, showcasing The Rifles from their formation in 2007 and covering the regiment’s history, customs and ethos, and role in the UK’s defence and security.

The new gallery will be a space where the story isn’t something you just read about—it’s something you experience. You’ll step into the world of today’s Rifleman, exploring real equipment used on operations, hearing personal stories from Iraq and Afghanistan, and even experiencing the action in a modern command post.

But that’s not all: we’re also opening up more of the Museum to visitors than ever before. Our remarkable library, a treasure trove of regimental history, will be given its own space, accessible to the public for reference and research. You’ll even get a glimpse behind the scenes of how the museum preserves and restores artefacts.
