Trues Yard Museum
The North End of King's Lynn was once home to hundreds of fishermen and their families.

They lived and worked in tiny cottages, crammed into small yards.

Only two survived the slum clearances in the 1930s and 1960s and you can find them both at True's Yard Museum.

Explore the cottages, town models, galleries, fishing smack and more with our new children's trails.

Why not have a go at doing the washing – Victorian style of course – or hoist the flag on the boat (weather permitting)?

Dip into to our new dressing up box to learn more about pirates, smugglers and other characters.

The True's Yard tearoom serves a variety of cakes, snacks and refreshments.

Specialist teas available. The tearoom is run by volunteers who will assist in any way they can, but the menu is limited.

The gift shop has a seafaring theme, including replica boats, ornaments, children's items such as pirate pencils and local crafts and books.

Male and female toilets, disabled toilet and baby changing room.

We do not sell baby food, but there is a microwave which can be used to warm milk.

Travel to King's Lynn on the A47 from Norwich or the A10 from Cambridge. True's Yard is at the north end of the town, behind St. Nicholas' Chapel. The nearest car parks are Austin Street and Chapel Street. The railway station and bus terminal are a 5-10 walk to the Museum.

Wear good shoes when visiting True's Yard Museum as the stairs in the cottages are steep, narrow and winding. You may also get wet when doing the washing! True's Yard is accessible almost everywhere for wheelchairs; lifts available. The only exception is the upstairs of the cottages.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Trues Yard Museum, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
