About this event

  • Free venue parking

The tour will offer the opportunity to see original showman engine, Victory be steamed up, with guests invited to see into the tender. Victory underwent a huge restoration project in 2023, bringing the famous engine back into steam after almost 40 years dormant.

The tour will take you around the museum where you will have the chance to learn more about the historic steam engines and ask questions along the way.

The day will finish with a trailer ride, pulled by Victory, and includes a special showman’s tea, with a savoury alternative to the much-loved afternoon tea.

Tickets also include entry to the museum. Browse at your own pace after the tour, enjoy live music from Robert Wolfe who performs on the mighty Wurlitzer organ, ride a vintage fairground galloper and gondola, browse our well stocked shops and watch silent movies in the auditorium.
