NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM

All aboard for a fantastic free day out at Yorkshire’s No 1 Attraction. Giant halls full of trains, railway legends and interactive exhibits. Daily programme of demonstrations, performances and events.

This Summer the National Railway Museum is celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Great Western Railway, which presented itself as ‘The Holiday Line’, actively promoting leisure trips along its route. Enjoy a steam ride* hauled by legendary City of Truro, a locomotive well known for steaming passengers to the Cornish coast. Bring a picnic, indulge yourself at our BBQ*, play giant games on the grass, take a ride on the miniature railway and have fun in the adventure playground. Or put yourself in the picture and say 'Cheese!' as we snap you in 1930s holiday costume. You could even win your very own giant garden game if you take part in the Museum's sizzling summer trail. Take part in explosive science shows, watch lively theatre performances, ride the simulator, experience your favourite funfair rides* and listen to brand new storytelling sessions about the famous Royal Carriages. To celebrate Yorkshire Day weekend (31 July – 1 August), have your jokes at the ready – the whole family can enjoy traditional performances by Punch and Judy, and see our amazing sand sculpture. You might even spot a donkey or two.
