In the museum can be seen many different types of flatner, plus nets and other items associated with their use. There are displays of maps, knotwork and boards showing the various uses of withy.

We have a small shop with items on sale ranging from pocket money to cheque book prices. Many of the items are made by our own Design and Print Department to ensure they meet our exacting standards. Postcards, greetings cards, keyrings, prints, boat plans, mugs and tea towels are just a few examples of the varied stock.
The museum is run entirely by dedicated volunteers from FOFA and as admission is free, we rely on donations to keep us going.
All the work you see inside and outside has been done by us.
