'Inside the Steam Train Museum'

We were delighted to be featured in a Channel 5 documentary series which gave viewers a chance to see what goes on behind the scenes at the museum, during every season of the year.

Programmes from series one and series two of 'Inside the Steam Train Museum' are available to download on the streaming service My5.

The first series of the show aired in 2020 during lockdown, and was a big hit with audiences across the UK. Following this success, Firepit Media was commissioned to make a second series and filming for this took place over 2021 and 2022.

Over eight wonderful episodes you can escape into the world of Bressingham Steam Museum, joining passionate staff and volunteers in our quirky bubble of nostalgia. Watch as we get stuck into restoration projects, come up against unforeseen problems, find creative solutions and come up with fresh ideas to help keep the museum travelling full steam ahead.

We very much hope you enjoy the programmes and that they will inspire you to come and experience the museum for yourselves. You’ll almost certainly spot familiar faces from the show during your visit.

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!
