Weston Museum on Burlington Street tells the story of Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area, from prehistoric and Roman finds to the seaside heyday, with family-friendly displays, Clara’s Café and a lively programme of temporary exhibitions.

The museum’s own visit page states that there is no entry charge to visit the permanent galleries and most temporary exhibitions. Donations help keep it that way.

Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–4pm. A few special exhibitions or events may be ticketed, so check the website before you set off.
