In our 2020 temporary exhibition we are proudly telling the story of Fisherman’s Friend – a Fleetwood company known all over the world for making the famous Fisherman’s Friend lozenge.
The exhibition explores how the company and product were founded in Fleetwood, the connections to the fishing industry, and how it became a global brand.
With never before seen objects, behind the scenes film and a few other surprises – this is a must-see exhibition!
