Food and drink

You are welcome to eat in the grounds and collections garden. We do not have a café or refreshments available at the museum. We are only a short walk from the town centre and sea front which have a range of cafes and restaurants.

Cloakroom facilities

We can arrange for a bag cage with lock if required as we do not have a cloakroom.

Coach drop-off and parking

There is a coach drop off point outside main entrance to the museum. The coach can then park across the road on Falaise Road Cark Park. Further information on parking can be found at Coach parking – Visit 1066 Country. Mini-busses can be parked in the museum grounds, space permitting.

We have a small but well stocked shop.  We suggest you stagger group visits to the shop throughout your trip to avoid over crowding
