National Fishing Heritage Centre

About this activity

If you're looking for a fun and educational activity for the whole family, look no further than the National Fishing Heritage Centre in Lincolnshire! This charming museum celebrates the rich fishing history of the area and offers visitors of all ages a chance to learn about the industry, try their hand at fishing, and explore the local culture and traditions.

One of the most exciting parts of the National Fishing Heritage Centre is the chance to step back in time and experience what life was like for the fishermen and their families who worked in the industry. The museum features a variety of exhibits and displays that bring this history to life, including a recreated fishing village complete with authentic boats, houses, and shops. Visitors can walk through the village, interact with costumed interpreters, and get a sense of what daily life was like for these hardworking families.

But the National Fishing Heritage Centre isn't just a history museum - it's also a great place for families to enjoy outdoor activities and learn new skills. One of the most popular attractions is the Fishing Experience, where visitors can try their hand at angling and learn about the different techniques and equipment used in fishing. There are also regular events and workshops where families can learn about the local ecology and conservation efforts, as well as traditional crafts and skills such as net-making and lobster pot weaving.
