What visitors say
Well, as a very outspoken gansey fan, this museum was definitely for me. I feel that having spent time in here, along with some very helpful volunteers and other interesting facts, I have come to appreciate my gansey more, maybe even to the level of famous fisherman and gansey wearer, Willie Long. £16 for a family ticket isn’t to be sniffed at, although the viewing tower at the top is free. Other little known fact; I managed to get 214W on the hand crank in the wind farm exception. A target to aim for I think.

Visited today, and loved everything about it. From a disability standpoint in particular, it was genuinely wonderful to be able to easily access 90% of the museum without issue (Mobility Scooter/Wheelchair access to 90% of the museum). Getting to access so much of the exhibit space was great, and they were all truly fascinating.

What a lovely museum! Hadn't planned to visit but glad we stumbled across this little gem to get out of the wind. Cheerful, welcoming staff with toys on hand to entertain our 3 year old. The exhibitions are well presented and informative. We have lived in the area a long time but still learnt alot about our local history. My teenage son liked testing his strength, learning about wind power and the viewing tower. There was a scavenger hunt for my middle child and a beautiful aquarium of local sea creatures. We spent a couple of hours here, it was very comfortable and good value for money. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We were absolutely shocked to discover how interesting this museum was showing the history of Sheringham. The museum is a lot bigger than you expect and is reasonably priced which is why we went in. They had lots of lifeboats on show and a tower that overlooked the bay which amazing picture opportunity
