All Aboard! National Tramway Museum in Derbyshire reopens with a bold new look

Formerly known as Crich Tramway Village, the newly refreshed National Tramway Museum reopens on Saturday, March 14.

The rebrand marks an exciting new chapter for the museum, celebrating over 60 years of tramway heritage and reflects the attraction’s ambition to challenge perceptions of what a “museum” can be.

CEO Graham Bennett said: “As one of Derbyshire’s most distinctive attractions, we have made the exciting decision to refresh our brand ready for the new season. The new identity reflects both our national collection and the unique experience we offer here — a working tramway where visitors can step into the past, ride historic vehicles and explore a truly special heritage site. We’re looking forward to welcoming both familiar faces and first-time visitors when we reopen in March.”

Visitors can again step back in time aboard beautifully restored vintage trams, travelling through a recreated historic village street and out into the Derbyshire countryside.

Alongside the working tramway, the site offers exhibitions, a scenic woodland trail, sculptures, indoor and outdoor play areas and food and drink options from the Tram Stop Café, Barnett’s Sweet Shop and the Red Lion pub.
