It’s that time of year to keep an eye out for dog free zones around Hartlepool!

From 1st of May until 30th September, keep an eye out for the seasonal markers 🐾

We all love a good zoomie on the beach, but during the busier months, places like Seaton Carew and Fish Sands/Block Sands in the Headland have dog free zones in place.

This ensures everyone has a safe and relaxing time, enjoy your summer! 🦮

We have some facts about our local museums for International Museum Day as we celebrate Hartlepool’s museums and rich history. 🏛️

⚓ Museum of Hartlepool: The largest ‘object’ in this museum is the PS Wingfield Castle, a paddle steamer built in Hartlepool in 1934.
🪖 Heugh Battery Museum: This museum preserves the only First World War battlefield in the UK. It is committed to preserving unique history by hosting guided tours, school visits, special events, displays and even a café (Poppy Tea Rooms)
🚢 Royal Navy Museum of Hartlepool: The centrepiece of the museum is the HMS Trincomalee and is the oldest warship still afloat in Europe (second oldest in the world). It was launched in 1817 and became out of service in 1986
📚 Random fun museum fact: Sir William Gray House was the first museum and art gallery in Hartlepool back in 1920. It is now the local and family history centre as part of the community hubs.
