Interactive Half-Term Fun!

There’s half-term fun for all the family at Crich Tramway Village next week. Come along and try out the brand new interactive displays showing how horse, steam and electric power were used in trams over the last 150 years. Experience the sights, sounds and smells from the past as history is truly brought to life.

Plus drop in for Halloween craft activities from Monday 24th - Friday 29th October any time between 1pm and 3pm and make your very own scary Halloween mask to take away with you.
