Open from 11am-3pm: Visits at Greenland Fishery will be interspersed with short informal concerts of Renaissance and original music inspired by Greenland Fishery and its frescos. There will also be a chance to talk about the music and on-going plans for a small music centre for early and contemporary music linked by the coastal environment of this very special building as well as a first look at some of the restoration work made possible by Historic England HARCF funding.

The Greenland Fishery dates from 1605, originally the property of a wealthy trader and Mayor of Lynn, John Atkin. He had the house built for his family and it was designed to be a place for lavish entertaining. After three generations of the Atkins, the house has had many uses: a whaling pub, a bakery and a museum. It is still a fine example of 17th-century domestic architecture, and a great rarity in King’s Lynn. Highlights of the building are the early 17th-century wall paintings and painted wood panelling.
