Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade Museum

A real hidden gem of naval history - you should definitely book time and visit this place. You'll be surprised of the uniqueness and history collected here. I know, I was...

Went today with 2 mares. Absolutely superb place. Dave great host with excellent knowledge. Must visit for anyone. Thanks Dave, steven yeats

Had an amazing time at the museum today. Was given a lovely tour by Dave who gave us wonderful history and local details that made the experience more realistic and fun! Strongly recommend everyone to call in and have a look, you will learn so much and have a great time!

A worthy charity, and a fascinating museum with an amazing view.

The guy who showed us around the museum today (apologies, I've forgotten his name, but the reviews below suggest it's Dave) was absolutely fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. It's a tiny museum but, thanks to him, we were there nearly two hours :-)

Visited TVLB with the SVLB sar team today and we were greeted by Dave who immediately welcomed us all in to the brigade watchouse. TVLB is one of only three volunteer life brigades left within the country. TVLB being the oldest. The brigade watchouse has an abundance of local history and I would urge anyone visiting the area to visit here. Today the have over 20 volunteers who regularly attend callouts from the Maritime Coastguard to either help Her Majesty's Coastguard or independently complete a rescue. Their actions today make tomorrow's history. Good luck to everyone at Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade

A little treasure. Fascinating and informative. A joyI was surprised and a little disheartened that so few people know it is thereYes its a 10 mon walk from car park but so what!Free but donations welcomed as run entirely by volunteers - just as the life boats are.Go. Its really worth it and was my pleasure to leave a donation

It was an amazing experience saw the development of the life brigade suits
