Re-opening for 2024

Here we go again, we are all set for another season to welcome visitors to the museum. We re-open tomorrow – Saturday 10th February 2024.

For the last week the museum staff and groups of our fantastic volunteers have been beavering away, dusting, polishing and vacuuming ready for our first visitors of 2024. Please come along and check us out.

A sometimes-overlooked aspect of the museum is the range of toys that we display. Two of our seven galleries are devoted to toys. Here are just a few of the smaller ones.

Just a few of our many Planes and Boats and Trains

For the next couple of blog posts we will look at a few of the many non-motoring exhibits. We will start by selecting some of the vast number of enamel signs that are everywhere in the museum. The theme of that selection – food! Then we will see just how many musical instruments we can spot.

Something that maybe you could look out for on your next visit?
