Dad's Army Museum

Since it opened in December 2007, the Dad's Army Museum has gone from strength to strength. Today thousands of visitors make their way to Thetford (Walmington-on-Sea) each year to see where the series was filmed and to learn more about one of the most enduring comedy programmes ever produced. 

The museum is independently run by an enthusiastic and dedicated platoon of volunteers and the current opening hours are Saturdays (Easter to November) and Tuesdays (Norfolk school holidays) 10am to 3pm. We will also be open on Tuesdays in July, August and September. We also organise private visits, talks and tours - by prior arrangement only and subject to availability.

Dad's Army Tours

Dad's Army tours start at the Charles Burrell Museum in Minstergate then take in the many filming locations used around the Thetford town centre, the bronze statue of Captain Mainwaring, Jones's van and end at the Museum. The total time to allow for the walking tour and museum visit is 2 hours and the price is £8.50 per person. Visit the shop to purchase tickets or gift vouchers for our tours.

Having your photo taken beside Captain Mainwaring is a must for all ages! (Look out for him on the river bank near the bus station).
