About
The museum is an independent charity which tells the fascinating story of Sheringham's history through its people and boats.
Our displays are spread over three floors, and are fully accessible to all. We are proud to hold four lifeboats which served the town for over 150 years, as well fishing boats and crab boats made by local boat builders. The Museum tells the story of Sheringham and its proud people, in our boat hall and our unique collection of lifeboats, historic fishing boats to seaside stories, local crafts and tales of fisher folk.
Walk down 'Shannock Street' and read about the local social history in our WWI and WWII displays which are about the history of Sheringham, these include wonderful objects such as the zeppelin bomb which hit the town in World War One (the first zeppelin to fall on the UK). Also work by famous local artists is on show, to mention a few includes the 'Painter in Wool', John Craske, artist Thomas W. Armes and photographer Olive Edis..
Discover more about the unique geology, fossils and longshore drift Geography of this area. We take you from the local fossil beds and tales of fossils and mammoths, and the Deep History Coast.
We offer hands-on learning for school visits covering the centuries of changes from.a fishing village into a Victorian resort town, and through two world wars right up to the creation of the Sheringham Shoal wind farm. You can also visit Windscape at Sheringham Museum where wind power comes to life. Windscape is the Visitor Centre for the Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farms. The Visitor Centre was first opened in early 2011, and after receiving some 150,000 visitors over 14 years, it has undergone a complete update and refurbishment for the 2025 visitor season. WIndscape and our 360° viewing tower with its exceptional views is free to visit.
