Touching intimate history and current stories of Hastings fishing folk. Photos, stories, films, boat parts and much more, and even a real fishing boat to go on to get a sense of what it is like. Love the nicknames, ie The Codfather, the Tub boys and The Winkle Club. Visit to find out more …….

Small museum, but well worth the visit. So much to read and learn about characters wishing the Hastings fishing industry. Lots of artefacts too. Allow 1 hr to do it justice and don’t forget to leave a donation in the box as entrance is free.

We weren't going to bother with this. I thought it would be dull. Completely wrong. This is an excellently laid out museum in two large-ish rooms. Don't miss climbing onto the boat, or the video in the second room which makes everyone gasp. Interesting. Moving. Loved it.

This could well be a unique museum in Britain....to fishing. But it works. It's housed in an old church in the old part of town and it's well laid out. There is a fishing boat inside the building and hundreds of photographs and models and a TV with a film running. The museum outlines the history of fishing in this seaside town and shows photos of many of those engaged in this dangerous profession. There is a small retail place inside and a huge barrel into which you can put a donation as the museum is FREE.
