Less than two minutes from Old Hunstanton’s beautiful sandy beach and opposite the Ancient Mariner Inn is Le Strange Old Barns antiques, arts and crafts centre, one of the largest centres of its type in East Anglia.

Visitors walk into an Aladdin’s cave of paintings, pottery, crafts, books, jewellery and other products. In the gallery, around 200 original paintings at surprisingly affordable prices are exhibited by popular local artists, many of the works capturing local settings that make wonderful reminders of time spent in Norfolk. The antiques barn contains a constantly changing and rich variety of collectables and there are plenty of unique products, ranging from pottery to jewellery, in the craft rooms and workshops. The gift ideas are virtually endless and you are likely to be tempted to treat yourself too. The barns are open daily from 10am with free parking. Admission is free.
