Would you like to see the world’s largest private collection of model soldiers? A world-famous embroidery by a fisherman artist or the world’s longest continuously operating radar site? England’s last town gas works ? If so, you’re in luck – as they can all be found in Norfolk.
See shells - Small but perfectly formed, like many of its beautiful exhibits, the Shell Museum at Glandford, near Holt, is the oldest purpose-built museum in Norfolk. Its exquisite jewel of a building is set close to a ford through the pretty river Glaven, and houses an impressive seashell collection plus fossils, local archaeological finds and a world-famous embroidery by a fisherman artist. It reopens on Tuesday, May 18.

Railway Museum hosting personal messages from Santa Posted: 10:24 am December 14, 2020

CHILDREN are in for a special treat as the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum has pulled out all the stops to arrange personalised messages from Santa.
Traditionally the museum has held its very successful ‘Santa Experience’ where little ones get to visit Santa, Mrs Claus and his elves at their workshop in Donegal.
That had to be cancelled due to Covid but not to be put off, virtual visits are being arranged.

Museum manager Niall McCaughan said, “’We realised pretty early on this year that our very popular Santa Experience would not be possible in its current form, but we were still very eager to keep the tradition alive. After a lot of thought about how we could continue in a safe environment for the families of Donegal, we figured that instead of coming to visit Santa, he can instead come to you.’’
