WALK THIS WAY ARMY SURPLUS, military antiques, collectibles & military museum

Army & navy surplus shop

👍👍 Great find! The free museum in the basement is absolutely great and my 9 year old really had fun doing the mission he was set. We're really glad we stopped, it's so different and interesting. We loved turning the air raid siren!

Armourgeddon Military Museum

The Last Post Memorial Bar and The Don War Memorial museum & Hub

From floor to ceiling it is covered in memorabilia from WW11, there is over 7000 poppies and Rememberance crosses. This is one place you should visit a...

Spitfire Visitor Centre

War museum

👍👍 Amazing place to go and spend some time. The volunteers are all incredible, they really know their stuff and are really friendly and genuinely love their roles. We spent a good 3.5 hours here and still didn't get to see everything (or even visit the Naafi which we are gutted about, looked like good...

👍👍 Great place to visit. Didn't look very big from the outside but we were there nearly 4 hours having a break at the café, then looking around the upstairs bit.

The Village Church Farm Skegness

History museum

👍 Free entry and car park to this historical farm site which is tucked away in Skegness well away from the glitz and touristy spots by the beach. Well worth a visit with a small cafe attached.

War memorial

👍👍 This section of the castle was by far my favourite. With the magnificent memorial you truly feel the power and commemoration of those who lost their lives fighting for what they loved.
