Time and Tide

Museum of Great Yarmouth Life
Blackfriar's Road

Come and explore this museum housed in a converted Victorian herring curing works and take an exciting journey into the past.

Due to popular demand the museum is open all year round. Check "Opening Times" on the right in this page for details.

Discover Great Yarmouth's fascinating history, its rich maritime and fishing heritage and some of the colourful characters who made their living from the sea.

Time and Tide Courtyard

Wander through a Victorian 'Row' and see inside a fisherman's home. Experience the heady atmosphere of a 1950s quayside, take the wheel of a coastal Drifter and hear gripping tales of wreck and rescue on the high seas. Follow Great Yarmouth’s transformation from a sandbank to the present day, through times of boom and bust and war and peace.

Relax in the the spacious courtyard beneath a spectacular canopy of sails, surrounded by historic fishing boats.

Lively hands-on displays, games, puzzles, free audio guides, film shows and children's activities bring the great story of Great Yarmouth vividly to life.

The Delightful Silver Darlings Café serves a range of light lunches including kipper paté and marinated herrings with salad plus teas, coffees, soft drinks and ice cream. Use the café at any time – you don’t need a museum ticket.

Maritime Trades Gallery

Craft Sessions are being held at Time & Tide most Sundays from 12noon - 4pm plus wednesdays during the school holidays.

NEW - Craft Session Entry FREE with admission to Temporary Exhibition Gallery. Please phone 01493 743930 for more details.
