About
During our Steam Days, The Museum is open for you to look around the various buildings, trains, displays and exhibits – details of what you can see can be found on our Standard Museum Admission page, with the added attraction of one of our heritage trains running, hauled by one of our home fleet of steam locomotives running on our demonstration line.
A firm favourite with families, they’re a great opportunity to visit the Museum and have a ride in vintage wagons or carriages pulled by one of our restored Steam Engines.
We operate unlimited rides starting at 11:00 – 15:00, the Museum opens at 10:00 right through until 17:00.
Check out our working Restoration Shed, See how the volunteers are getting on with the restoration of Lamport, the magnificent Victorian Goods Shed, period Waiting Rooms & Signal Box as well as the Heritage Centre & Train themed Children’s Playground, our site of over 10 acres is ideal if you would like to bring your own picnic.
Additionally our Model Railway club rooms will be open for you to see all the changes our volunteers have been making to the layouts.
