Autumn Historic Gathering
5 October 2025
Since 1978 the Museum has celebrated its inception, volunteers and staff with a huge display of 150 vintage and classic vehicles.
Not just cars but motorcycles, steam and stationary engines, public transport and commercial vehicles will fill the site, showcasing over 100 years of transport heritage.
Reminisce with the Museum Volunteers and vehicle owners over the amazing engines on display and moving around the site.
Adding to the experience will be the opportunity to ride on a vintage bus and our steam train ‘Peter’, dating from 1918.
Drive a Locomotive: Take the controls of a locomotive on one of our industrial lines (without a train attached) for a unique hands-on experience. (Suggested donation of £5 applies for this activity)
