Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse houses vast collections relating to the ordinary people of Norfolk, particularly those who worked on the land.

Displays housed in the main workhouse building include:

    • Collections Gallery

    • Costume Gallery

    • Engine Rooms

    • First Farmer's Gallery

    • Toil and Plenty

    • Transport Gallery

We are currently working on a brand new Women at War gallery which should open in Spring 2011 and planning future exhibitions.

In some of the smaller workhouse buildings, shops and homes from the past have been lovingly re-created:

    • Village Row

    • Cherry Tree Cottage

    • Panhard et Levassor Motorhouse

    • The Dairy

Plus, there are more collections to see on the farm:

    • Farmhouse

    • St Nicholas' Barn

Our only regret is that we ran out of time as there was so much to do.

Our two youngsters love the place…The exhibits just go on and on and you really can't see it all in the day….I can't speak highly enough of the whole experience.
