Took a very inquisitive 6yr old, very friendly and helpful staff, she loved dressing up as a Victorian School child. Lots of different exhibits, all housed in an old police station.

A truly excellent couple of hours spent discovering the wonderful history of Porthcawl and how it has evolved over the years. The presentation is so well done that you hardly notice time go by while you are there. You can also discover fascinating facts about the surrounding area and the second world War which will really surprise you. A great team of volunteers that really know their stuff. Thank you.

A small, well kept interesting museum. £2.50 for adults. Well worth the small price.

Not to be missed. Really interesting and informative visit. The guides, all volunteers, are passionate about the history of Porthcawl. Some unusual exhibits. Very well presented.

It was our first visit yes I agree it's small but well worth the £2.50 it charges . It will not be our last visit has we are hoping to shortly leave the isle of Wight to live in Portcawl I spoke to the people that volunteer and was given a warm reception.

Wonderful place to visit.
The amount of things to see is amazing.
The Volunteers are really warm and welcoming. They have a personal connection to some of the items.
My family and I had a great time.
