About National Tramway Museum

Celebrating the region's transport heritage, Crich Tramway Village is home to the National Tramway Museum, an array of outdoor attractions and the lovingly recreated atmosphere of pre-War England. Visitors can take in a collection of restored trams from different eras and hop aboard for a ride, with trams departing every 15 minutes on routes with rural views. Displays include rail, mining and printing artefacts, and a functioning workshop. Picnic areas, sculpture trails and woodland walks abound, wending around the Derwent Valley. Outdoor and soft-play areas keep youngsters entertained. On a street recreated from the tram's British heyday, The Red Lion pub, Poulson Room and Rita's Tearooms serve refreshments and meals while a gift shop plies mementoes and an old-fashioned sweetshop sells traditional sweets. Regular events include themed days, and educational workshops tailored to different age groups.
