More Details

Ground floor galleries (45 minutes to one hour)
Starting with the breath-taking Boat Hall, our ground floor displays showcase Sheringham’s unique collection of lifeboats, placing them alongside historic fishing boats and seaside stories.

Peer into a fisherman’s cottage, hear about the miracles of boat building and wonder at the many crafts and traditions of everyday fisher-family life.

First Floor galleries (45 minutes to one hour)
Diverse displays include the charming, colourful shops of Shannock Street, two changing exhibition galleries and the action-packed Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm Visitor Centre – designed by one of the teams behind the Science Museum.

You’ll find out more about Sheringham during the war years and about the remarkable Upcher family of Sheringham Park. Plus set out along the gantry for spell-binding views of the great life boats below and dramatic archive film of rescues at sea.

Viewing Tower (5-10 minutes)
Enjoy stunning views across the North Sea, over the higgledy piggledy streets of Sheringham and to the cliffs and hills beyond.

Sheringham is one of Norfolks most quintessential seaside towns.
A wonderful selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, stalls and hotels meander all the way down to the sea front, where a good stretch of sand is exposed at low tide for families to play on.
In the centre of town in the old Station you can find one the North Norfolk Steam Railway, a fully functioning steam train which runs along from here to Holt Station.
Further around the coast to the East a clifftop path leads to Beeston Bump, one of the highest points along the Norfolk coast which affords excellent views over the surrounding area. The town has plenty going on, with a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as well as a great selection of shops, cafes and restaurants, and the Sheringham Little Theatre.
