About

Join us this Summer as we celebrate re-opening with a relaxed, family session where we will be running steam rides, our recently opened new Minature Railway & on some dates diesel rides too – all included in the entrance price!

We operate rides between 11am – 3pm, but the museum opens at 10am right through until 5pm during the Summer months

Summer is a great time to visit – the flowers are in full bloom, the weather is warm (hopefully) and we have plenty of open space for you to relax in.
