Thetford Bubbly Hub What's On and Events Charles Burrell museum

Charles Burrell Museum

The museum is housed in the, grade 2 listed, former paint shop of Charles Burrell & Sons, builders of steam traction engines, agricultural machinery, steam lorries and steam tram engines. We help tell the long story of how they were once Thetford’s main employer until the business closed in 1928. We also currently have the Jones van, butcher’s delivery van owned by Lance-Corporal Jones in the BBC comedy series Dad’s Army, stationed at the museum, belonging to our great friends at The Dad’s Army museum, also here in Thetford.

We normally open on Tuesdays and Saturdays during our open season, but this is subject to having enough volunteers! please contact us if you plan your visit well in advance.
