Museum opening times and 2024 calendar

We hope you will find it helpful when planning your visit to take a look at our operating calendar below, so that you can see when we are running steam days, diesel days and special events.

Steam days

Wednesdays to Sundays are always our steam days when we aim to operate at least two steam trains and the gallopers.

At weekends, on bank holidays and during school holidays we aim to operate three steam trains and the gallopers.

Please note that while we strive to offer authentic steam train experiences, we may occasionally need to use a diesel locomotive during periods of extreme heat or when our steam engines require maintenance. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Standard Gauge

Please call us on 01379 686900 or check our Facebook page for information on when we will be running the Standard Gauge Railway.

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!
