Railway Village Museum Tour – 18th June

Join us at The Railway Village Museum to step back in time at the cottage to discover Victorian traditions. Witness the sights, sounds and smells of local community life, and learn how a Great Western Railway worker would have lived with their family living in Swindon c1901.

What are the details?

This approximately 30 minute tour will be hosted from 3pm by a knowledgeable volunteer who will guide you through each room of the Railway Cottage.

Visiting the Railway Village Museum is free of charge. However, as we rely heavily on donations and the generous support of our volunteers to remain open, any contribution is greatly appreciated.

We are running a series of Tours throughout the season so if you can’t make this one, view our other events here.

Who can book?

Booking is strongly advised to secure your spot as space is very limited in the museum.

This family-friendly event welcomes everyone but all children must be accompanied by at least 1 responsible adult at all times.

Please Note

There is no food or drink allowed.

There are no toilet facilities at the Museum, but toilets will be available at the nearby supporting site: The Bakers’

Accessibility

Wheelchair ramps are available and the ground floor of the Museum is fully accessible for wheelchairs. Space in the cottage is limited and the stairs are steep so please take care. This is also why we ask that pushchairs are not brought inside the cottage.
