STUNNING NEW EXHIBITIONS

Thanks to the support of theNational Lottery we have been able to appoint The Maltings Heritage Interpretation of Derby, led by Mike Foster and Steve Capsey, to help us install exciting new exhibitions that will tell the amazing story of the towns long association with the River Colne and the Sea.

Key exhibitions will include:

• The History of Brightlingsea in ten objects, including the unique connection with the Cinque Ports.
• Shipbuilding
• The ancient oyster trade and fishing for sprats
• Yachting - luxury sailing which was to shape the town.
• Naval Bases - the role of the town in the defence of the realm

But don't expect a sedate walk round glass cases!

Evocative sounds.....wonderful images....voices.....projections.....objects

Try your hand at designing a boat or even a ship!

Send a Morse code message .......... How do you spell your name in flags?

And so much more - something for everyone!
