Had a great walking tour of Thetford on Sunday. Great weather and very knowledgeable guides,time flew by. If you get a chance book up for next year when the bookings open. The places apparently go very quickly. Museum is free to entry.

Been on the bucket list list , was brilliant free too with nearby filming locations , famous Jones’s in nearby steam museum, friendly informative staff plenty to see a must for the fans of the show loved it , should be supported by local councils as the money they bring to the town be thousands, or national lottery grant 👍👍👍👍

This is the place for all dads army fans . Tucked away in sleepy Thetford, Norwich. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Some of the information provided by friendly helpful staff was amazing. A must for all fans 👍

Today, we had a great Thetford location tour by Rod, and two other museum volunteers (sorry I can’t remember their names!) The tour was brilliant, and packed with details about filming locations around Thetford. It was very well planned out and so many memories of a great British sit-com we all love. Dads Army was the best, and the museum staff keep that memory alive. Following the tour, which finished at the Museum, we had refreshments and a good look around at the artefacts and mementoes of the series displayed within. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a location tour when dates become available, which fill up quickly! No visit is complete without taking home some souvenirs from the well stocked gift shop. Well done to you all!

Very good, bit small, but worth a visit if you're in the area. Small museum, tea room and a brass band. Free entry, free parking and dog friendly.

Absolutely amazing place , lots of original props from the show very informative, lots to see and a lovely little cafe as well .plus, it was free entry, which was amazing . They have a great souvenir shop where you can purchase lots of dads army related items . It was not a particularly large museum but had so much to see and do in there that it felt big if that makes sense .plus so many more dad's army related maps of the area and filming locations . Wonderful informative and helpful volunteer staff . A must see place to visit in the beautiful town of Thetford

Great walking tour. Guides informative, funny and made the whole tour enjoyable. Great to see Jones's van on the move. Loved the museum. Cup of tea was very welcome. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place, I think it's voluntary run, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Dog friendly. We had tea and cake in the Marigold Tearooms, sat outside because we had our dog. Really lovely place. Donation boxes around as entry is free, more than happy to donate. Brilliant.
