A day of family fun

There really is something for everyone here at Bressingham, whether it's the railway, traction and stationary steam engine collection, the beautiful gardens or our museum which celebrates the age of steam and the much-loved Dad's Army television series.

So whether your passion is railways and rides, history and heritage or gardens and the great outdoors, we're confident you will have a great day out.

The Bressingham Collection

Step back in time by taking a trip on one of our four railways, with routes through the gardens, woodland and fen, or climb aboard our beautiful Victorian gallopers.

A visit to the locomotive sheds shows the power of mighty steam engineering in all its glory. See historic locomotives, the refinement of royal carriages and stationary engines in action.

There's even a chance to experience working life on the railways first-hand, in an authentic Victorian signal box and a Travelling Post Office.

In our museum, wander through a street scene of Walmington-on-Sea to see the National Dad's Army collection with original props and vehicles from the series; discover what it was like to use an Anderson shelter during the Second World War; get close-up to giant traction engines and look inside the living huts used by their drivers.

Bressingham Gardens

Bressingham Gardens are renowned for their horticultural excellence. With four linking gardens across 17 acres containing around 8,000 species, they are a truly peaceful and tranquil place.
