Help us to take our Museum into the future
Our collection of items from the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads is unique and our vision is to bring the stories of the Broads alive.
We know times are hard. We have done our best to keep our ticket prices low and the Museum entry ticket is valid for one year.
Unlike many museums in Norfolk, we do not receive funding from government or from a local authority. We are an independent charitable trust reliant on our fabulous band of volunteers to stay open.
If you are able to give a donation to help the Museum to continue its work, please click the button below. We are very grateful for all support. Thank you.
