SET A COURSE FOR MARYPORT MARITIME MUSEUM
The museum sits on North Quay, overlooking Maryport harbour and a short walk from the town centre.
Every visit is a chance to discover something new. Inside, you’ll explore stories of the sea, the land, and the deep underground, told through the lives of the people who lived and worked here. Experiences are designed for all ages, from family-friendly activities and talks to school visits and community events.

Our opening hours will be confirmed closer to the launch.
