Watchet Boat Museum online: information and bookings

In the museum can be seen many different types of flatner, plus nets and other items associated with their use. There are displays of maps, knotwork and boards showing the various uses of withy.

There are activities specially designed for children such as the block and tackle where even the smallest child can lift much more than expected!

We have a small shop with items on sale ranging from pocket money to cheque book prices. Many of the items are made by our own Design and Print Department to ensure they meet our exacting standards. Postcards, greetings cards, keyrings, prints, boat plans, mugs and tea towels are just a few examples of the varied stock.

The museum is run entirely by dedicated volunteers from FOFA and as admission is free, we rely on donations to keep us going.

All the work you see inside and outside has been done by us.

Directions
Opening times are 2pm to 4pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from Easter to the end of September. Visits outside these times for parties or individuals can nearly always be arranged.

In case of alteration, please check prices, opening times and any specific important information before booking or visiting
