Say goodbye to 2020 and welcome in the new year with National Railway Museum this season. Return to all your favourite locomotives, learn something new, and most importantly – have some festive fun! They’re open every day of the festive period (21st December 2020 to 5th January 2021) except 24, 25 and 26 December 2020.

Shake off the cobwebs with a ride on the Miniature Railway, guaranteed to bring cheer to children and grown-ups alike. The Pop-up Science shows will reveal a world of wonder on weekdays, exploring the awesome energy of Brussels sprouts and other Christmas magic. Take the fun home with you when you pick up a free DIY light-up Christmas card pack on selected dates while stocks last.

Pop-up Science Shows: Weekdays, 10.30–14.30 in Great Hall
DIY Light-up Christmas card packs: 21, 22 and 23 December

They will be offering you a very warm welcome as always, with some new measures in place to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable day out. Be sure to book your free admission tickets before making your trip.
