- JTJDUnited Kingdom1,041 contributionsDon’t miss this place!!! It’s absolutely fantastic!Wow! What a fantastic museum! It’s an absolute must if you are visiting the town. It’s packed with all sorts of local artefacts & lots of information about the history of Sheringham. We spent at least 3hrs in there but could have stayed longer. It’s totally fascinating! Brilliant! On the floor below the viewing deck there is lots of information about the wind farms which is extremely interesting. The very top floor is the viewing deck where there are powerful telescopes that you can look out to sea with & get a great view of the wind farm. This floor is actually free to access, you don’t have to pay the museum entrance fee to be able to visit the viewing deck. There is a small shop on the ground floor selling a nice selection of local books, cards & all the staff are so helpful.Visited September 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 January 2023

- Bella BReading, United Kingdom5 contributionsBigger than it seems!Spent a good couple of hours here, absolutely packed with information that's really well laid out and so well connected to the local area. Learnt a lot of fascinating local history and more general information about fishing and lifeboats. So cool to see three of the town's original lifeboats and more fishing boats so well preserved. Staff were exceptionally friendly and clearly passionate.Visited October 2023Written 20 October 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A very compact museum that is very well laid out.
There is a lot to see including information on Shackeldon.
You get a great panoramic view from the top room.

So much to see we had no idea it was going to be so interesting. The views from the top was excellent. We could have stayed longer but needed food.

We popped in without being aware of Sheringham's history. When we left we knew more about a small Norfolk town's history and its fascinating contributions to the Norfolk coast. The exhibits were fabulous and the accompanying information so interesting that we intend to return for more. The contributions made by a highly committed team of helpful attendants can not be missed. All are helpful and knowledgeable. We learned about life boats and the RNLI heroes and saw the boats they used. We found the descriptions of local life fascinating and saw how ordinary people led ordinary lives and yet performed heroically when called upon. You must check out the nicknames of the various characters whose lives figure in the various displays. Brilliant morning passed so quickly.

I do apologise, unfortunately we do not allow dogs into the museum, with the exception of seeing-eye dogs. Sometimes the responses take a little while for Trip advisor to post so there was a time delay in our answering. For all up to date information do check out our website which is current.

Are dogs allowed?
PSTRU
Sheringham, UK
Hello, many apologies as we tend to only manage to reply to direct postings of questions and reviews as opposed to this forum. Unfortunately we do not allow dogs on site, only seeing-eye or guide dogs. As another reviewer says we are more than happy to answer the telephone or email enquiries with such questions. I am sorry it took a while to receive the notification of your post via our email, and consequently a delay in replying. Our website has all current details on it, as well as our dog and mobility access etc.
