We look forward to welcoming you to our Maritime Heritage Centre in Stiffkey to see displays, films, stories of local wooden fishing boats and communities as well as of local lifeboats including of our flagship Dunkirk Little Ship and locally-serving lifeboat Lucy Lavers. Activities and quiz for children. If available we can take you across to see the working boatyard next door.

Comments from 2024 visitors include: ‘wonderful displays - a hidden gem’; ‘very informative and well presented’; ‘nice activities for children’; we liked the toy boats, the quiz, the stickers; ‘Lucy Lavers story of Dunkirk fascinating and moved me to tears’; ‘fabulous to see such skills still in action’;  'amazing place with fascinating history and staff are great. Loved the boatbuilding’.
