We are the UK’s Food Museum, located in East Anglia, ‘Britain’s Breadbasket’. Our mission is to connect people with where our food comes from and the impact of our choices: past, present and future.
We all eat. Food is culture and is an avenue for everyday creativity. Our collection is rooted in East Anglia and we use it to tell broad and inclusive stories.
From cheese-making to brewing, historic breads to seasonal eating, we are here to engage audiences with the heritage of food and the communities who grow and make it. We aim to explore themes connected by food – social, historical, technological, industrial, environmental – and to give visitors hands-on experiences which bring processes alive, teach skills and share memories.

We feel this was a well-organised set of activities which engaged the children on a number of different levels. The site teaching team were well-informed about their subject and kept the children interested during the sessions. There was plenty to explore during the self-led sessions and everything was explained clearly by the greeting team when we got there. For any future visits please be aware that for the coach park a separate postcode is needed (see website for details).

A great site with lots of buildings to visit. Undergoing a rebranding and will become the Museum of Food so workshop we did will no longer be available.
