The Museum will be open to the public 10:30-16:00 Tuesday 31st March 2026. All our volunteers are excited to welcome everyone and share the wonderful history of Fleetwood. We have reimagined our RNLI gallery with updated and more detailed stories of rescues and wrecks within the Morecambe Bay. This leads into a fascinating new exhibition ‘Risk in the North Atlantic’ exploring the science and the stories behind risk at sea for Fleetwood’s deep sea trawlers.
