Welcome to the Beccles Museum.

The museum is located in Ballygate. Take a short walk from the church along this road and on the right you will see the magnificent 16th Century building housing the museum. The Street Map shows the location in relation to other parts of the town. The museum covers the surrounding area as well as Beccles, shown on this map.

Open
1st April to 31st October, from 2.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Mondays, when the museum is closed. Open on Bank Holidays during these months. There is no charge.

Disabled Access and toilet. Small 'Hands On' area for those with sight difficulties.

Group visits
Can usually be arranged in or out of hours subject to staffing. Normally a maximum of 30 is recommended. Groups usually spend about an hour in the museum, which is particularly suitable for parties visiting the area, wanting to expand their visit. Requests should be made in writing, impersonally, to 'the curator'.

Funding
Entry is free. The museum is a charity and funding for the several thousand pound rent and running costs is obtained from grants, donations, friends' fund raising and sales of books and shop items. All donations are gratefully received.
