Bressingham offers so much more!

Our railways

Bressingham is a great day out for everyone who loves railways. We have three narrow gauge passenger railways, along with a standard gauge demonstration railway, with journeys over three miles of track.

Our gardens

Bressingham's four linking gardens cover 17 acres and are renowned for their horticultural excellence. Enjoy a leisurely stroll around this peaceful natural haven, or better still, see them from one of our fabulous steam engines.

Our museum

Walk into our exhibition hall and be transported back to the 1940s, with a full-size street scene, Dad's Army displays, vintage vehicles, traction engines, living vans and even an Anderson shelter. The museum is also home to a full size Travelling Post Office (TPO), so climb aboard and see if you can match the speedy sorting skills of postal workers!

“ There was nothing that we didn't like. We had planned to stay two to three hours, we stayed seven hours. Both the railways and gardens were exceptional. ”
"Spent hours and hours and hours in here with my grandson. Such happy memories."
"Haven’t been here for years and wish we’d returned sooner."
"Lovely people who clearly love their jobs, many are volunteers. The museums are so interesting. Honestly, we have visited so many attractions, this is, and I think always will be, the best day out we have every year! Memories to cherish."
"Arrived at 10.30 and didn't leave until after 4pm. So much to do and see, inside and out. The attractions and rides were very good and very well organised."
