“The new, interactive Beacon is awash with the history of Copeland.

Using interactive touchscreens, sights, sounds, and smells, you’ll be amazed at the area’s rich past and you won’t believe what a great time everyone has exploring the Beacon’s five floors!

Our 4th floor viewing gallery offers the best view in the area.  Find out about the Copeland area’s long and fascinating history. 

Climb aboard our very own ship or take part in our Roman dig. With rotating exhibitions in our Harbour Gallery and events scheduled throughout the year and school holidays, it’s always the perfect time to visit The Beacon.

We also have a gift shop and a harbour-side restaurant too. And to make things even more tempting, children under 16 years are FREE!

Open Tuesday-Sunday and school holiday Mondays, all year, 10am-4.30pm.
