Fleetwood Museum

Fleetwood Museum is a community museum, run by Fleetwood Museum Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We receive funding from the people of Fleetwood through Fleetwood Town Council - a third tier local authority. We believe we are the only museum in the country to be funded in this way. The museum exists to collect, preserve, interpret and share the rich history of Fleetwood.

The museum is easily accessible by car, with free parking all along Queen's Terrace and the Promenade. Take A585 to Fleetwood, and follow the brown signs to the museum (FY7 6BT). The museum overlooks the River Wyre. Free on street parking is available outside the museum and the nearest pay and display car park is accessible from Custom House Lane, to the rear of the museum.

Perhaps you work for or are involved with a local group that wants to collaborate with Fleetwood museum on a project? In our 2020 temporary exhibition we are proudly telling the story of Fisherman's Friend - a Fleetwood company known all over the world for making the famous Fisherman's Friend lozenge.

Over the next few years we will be developing plans to redisplay our galleries - some of them have been in place for a long time! Our current displays include family friendly content such as dressing up and toys. We also have several quizzes and trails for children and families to complete around the museum - just ask at the museum reception.

We are proud to receive funding from Fleetwood Town Council that comes from Fleetwood residents. This money ensures we can stay open, keep the lights on and continue to tell Fleetwood's story. To undertake major projects such as redeveloping galleries, creating new community partnerships or learning opportunities, we need more funding and sponsorship.
