Welcome to Holyhead Maritime Museum
Croeso i Amgueddfa Arforol Caergybi
Free entry for accompanied children 16 and under.
Situated at picturesque Newry Beach, the museum is a fascinating family experience. Take a step back in time at the oldest lifeboat station in Wales. Learn about shipwrecks, gallant rescues and pirates. Find out what it was like to sail on the Irish Sea 100 years ago. Visit our WW2 Air Raid Shelter and marvel at our collection of WW1 and WW2 memorabilia.
We have now reopened. However due to the continued Covid risk we have introduced a few requirements to ensure the safety of visitors and our volunteer staff alike.
- Visitors must wear a mask at all times within our buildings.
- Individuals or a member of a family group must complete a ’Track and Trace’ form at the entrance to the museum.
- Adopt social distancing unless in a 'Family Bubble'.
- A restriction will apply to the number of adults in the museum at any one time. No limit on the number of children.
- Visits will be self guiding. Interaction with Museum Guides kept to a minimum.
- Visitors are advised to contact the museum to confirm actual opening times as staff shortages may require the museum to close for short periods. Tel. 01407 769745 (opening hours only).
