BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine lunchtime show will be broadcast live from Cirencester’s Corinium Museum tomorrow at noon.
The Corinium Museum will be centre stage when it will feature in the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show, which is focusing on the national Museums at Night campaign.
The Corinium is one of only four museums to have been singled out for this special attention.
BBC reporter and Cirencester resident Sonia Poulton will be touring the museum and commenting on the exhibits which she feels will be of particular interest to listeners.
She said: "I am a regular contributor to Jeremy's show but it is particularly wonderful for me to do this from my home town."
Later in the evening the Corinium will be opening its doors for a special session from 6pm to 9.30pm with a Roman theme.
Highlights will include trails of the galleries with a few surprise guests, an exhibition of work by Cirencester College students, and a showing of the comedy thriller 'Night at the Museum 2'.
Curator John Paddock said: "Friday promises to be a special day for us at the museum and the Jeremy Vine feature will be the icing on the cake.
"I am very pleased that we have been singled out for this special treatment – it’s a fitting tribute to all the staff who have put in such hard work to make this event a success."
Admission to the evening session is by ticket only.
