About

Welcome to the only museum of Broadland life at the historic Stalham Staithe.  Discover iconic boats, the landscape and wildlife, see how people lived and worked, and find out how invaders and windpumps shaped the Broads.  Take a river trip on our steamboat, or our accessible, electric boat. Bring a picnic or buy drinks, ice creams and snacks to enjoy by the river. There are events, trails and activities for all ages, and families, groups and dogs are all welcome.
