VISIT THE MUSEUM OF ENTERTAINMENT

Situated in the headquarters of The Grand Order of Water Rats’ building, the Museum exhibits a wealth of historical theatrical memorabilia. The rooms display costumes, props and artefacts, worn and used by many famous Music Hall, Variety and Television personalities, all of whom where Water Rats.

From actors to acrobats, via ventriloquists, singers, dancers, comedians, band-leaders, impressionists, jugglers, magicians, roller-skaters, circus impresarios, holiday camp pioneers, stilt-walkers, puppeteers, female impersonators, radio DJ's, musicians and even theatrical agents are represented in some way amongst the treasures of the Water Rats museum.

Special Tours of the Grand Order of Water Rats’ headquarters and its Museum are conducted throughout the year.
