OUR FACILITIES

Beyond our many fascinating exhibitions, we also offer a range of immersive and interactive experiences for you to discover.

At selected times throughout the year, visitors have the rare opportunity to ride in some of our fully operational military vehicles—an unforgettable, hands-on way to connect with history while taking in the stunning views of the North Norfolk Coast.

To make your visit as enjoyable as possible, the museum also provides a variety of facilities. Relax with refreshments in our café, browse a carefully curated selection of books and military-themed gifts in the Shop, and take advantage of accessible amenities designed for the comfort of all guests.

Set against a beautiful coastal backdrop, the museum grounds are just as inviting as the exhibitions inside. Outdoor displays and open spaces offer families the perfect environment to learn, explore, and spend meaningful time together.
