We’re entering a new phase here at Deal Museum. We’ve vastly improved our offering and increased visitor numbers by 30% between 2024 and 2025. But what we really need is somewhere we can host visitors, researchers and local groups all year round (the main buildings have no heating).

Which is why we’re launching our campaign to remove our sad sheds and replace them with a purpose-built community hub. We need £10,000 to make that happen and we’re asking locals and visitors if they can help in any way.

Our vision

If you can spare even £1, it would help us to make this project come to life. You can donate here or use this QR code. Thank you so much!

We rely on the generosity of our visitors to help keep the Museum open for everyone to enjoy.

Free entry has dramatically increased the number of people visiting the Museum. However, it means we now need to generate our income in different ways to support maintaining the building and the exhibits.

There are various ways in which you can support us.
