The Muckleburgh Military Collection

The Muckleburgh Military Collection

Cliff-top showcase for military might

There has long been a military presence at Weybourne, reflecting the village’s key defensive position. The remaining Weybourne Camp buildings now house Britain's largest private working military museum. 

Exhibits date from 1782 to the present day.  Highlights include the many tanks, guns, missiles and armoured vehicles, some outside but many in large indoor galleries. 

Displays also feature smaller, personal items such as, uniforms, medals and kit bags, and weapons such as swords, bayonets and knives.

  • Tank driving experiences (limited dates, check with museum)
  • Tank demonstrations
  • Military vehicle rides during school holidays

Schools

Visits by Schools or other Groups to the Museum are welcome and offer schools the opportunity for students of all ages to gain an insight into the historical nature of the United Kingdoms Armed Forces from the 1700s through to the present day.

Pupils must be accompanied by teachers. Questionnaire and Quiz sheets are available to help support Key Skills. The displays have detailed descriptions giving their history covering WWI and WWII and subsequent conflicts. 

A Risk Assessment profile can be downloaded to help support the school visit. A private meeting room is available for teaching and lunch canbe had in the cafe or in the picnic areas.
