Welcome to Holyhead Maritime Museum

Croeso i Amgueddfa Arforol Caergybi

The museum is a fascinating experience for the whole family. Step back in time at the oldest lifeboat station in Wales (circa. 1858), which houses a wonderful collection of exhibits telling the enthralling maritime history of Holyhead.

Situated alongside the Maritime Museum, in a Second World War Air Raid Shelter, is the very informative permanent exhibition "Holyhead at War".

There is wheelchair access, a well stocked gift and bookshop, very knowledgeable museum guides and a highly recommended cafe/licensed restaurant, the "Harbour Front Bistro".

You will find us at the very picturesque seafront location of Newry Beach, Holyhead, Anglesey. LL65 1YD. A short promotional video about the Museum can be found HERE.

The Museum is now closed for the 2013 season. We will re-open next year at Easter. We look forward to seeing you then.

Unfortunately due to increased maintenance and running costs we have had to increase admission charges for the 2014 season. However, on the last Saturday of each month we will be offering free admission for all Holyhead residents.

Please note. Registration to the Museum Website is generally restricted to Museum Members only (Trustees and Volunteers). Members should login below to access Museum information.
