Turn your Easter holiday into a fantastic one with a day out here at Bressingham. There’s so much to see and do - both on and off the trains. 🚂
Here’s the Garden Railway turntable which is always a big hit with onlookers - both young and old. What will you see on your visit..?
Finally, a special mention to #driverdan who celebrates 7 years as a Steam Train Driver today! On this date, 7 years ago, he completed his driver training here at Bressingham - fulfilling a life long dream! But more on that story another day…

The Garden Railway at Bressingham
Open for Autumn 🍂🚂
Great days out don’t stop here at Bressingham just because the kids are back at school. We continue to be open daily until the end of October, just with a tweak or two.
Wednesdays to Sundays are our Steam Days during term time when you can enjoy our famous train rides* and the glorious Gallopers, as well as the stunning Gardens and the Museum’s inside spaces. Mondays and Tuesdays during term time are our Non-Steam Days and on these days you can enjoy the Gardens, Exhibition Hall and Loco Sheds, but the trains and Gallopers will not be running.
(Of course, this all changes for half term when we’ll be steaming daily again and we hope we’ll see lots of families enjoying a visit - and taking part in our Halloween evenings too!)
As a rule, Autumn is a quieter time to visit here – but no less magical. Mondays and Tuesdays are great for our garden-loving visitors who'll find they have all the time in the world to enjoy and explore these wonderful spaces. And we love being the focus of pre-school meet-ups, play dates and train adventures for our lovely local visitors during the week too.
Ticket prices for both types of day are available online at www.bressingham.co.uk, and you can book in advance too.
*(Please note that the number of trains in service may vary by day)

Welcome to Day 2 of our 60th Anniversary Steam Gala! 🎉🚂
Welcome to day 1 of our 60th anniversary celebration steam gala! Here’s a taste of things to come! 🎉 Everywhere you look there’s steam!
Just imagine if the skies are as blue as this for our 60th anniversary celebration weekend. 🌞🚂
From 17th – 19th September we’re holding a Full Steam Gala to celebrate 60 years since Alan Bloom started this wonderful collection. We’ll be joined by guest 2ft narrow gauge locomotives and traction engines and, rather excitingly, Alan Bloom's favourite engine 'Bronllywd' will be returning to the museum from @statfolduk for this very special weekend. We’ll also be hauling some of the traction engines from inside the main exhibition hall outside to join in the fun - the first time they will have seen daylight for over 20 years! Come and be part of this very special event. Book your tickets here https://bressingham.merlintickets.co.uk/collections/Special%20Event%20Days
Here’s an overview of the weekend...
Friday 17th Sept - Day 1 of the Gala: This will be a less intensive running schedule. Two to three locomotives will be running on the 2ft railway (including visiting engines). The Garden Railway and the Waveney Railway will be running and we’ll be running as much of our own collection as possible. Visiting Traction Engines, both full size and miniature, will be in steam. There will be no standard gauge steam running on the Friday.
Saturday 18th Sept - Day 2 of the Gala: Five steam locomotives will be running on the 2ft Fen Railway running passenger and freight services (including double heading). The Garden Railway and Waveney Railway will be running. Austerity locomotive 3193 will be hauling the Brake Van and providing passenger rides on the Standard Gauge Railway. We’ll be running as much of our own collection as possible. Visiting Traction Engines, both full size and miniature, will be in steam.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FAMILY ONLINE TICKETS AVAILABLE UNTIL 05/09/21 🎟 It’s the last weekend of the school summer holidays! Why not take some time out from labelling every last item of clothing that they own to make some end-of-holiday memories this weekend?
We’ve plenty of space for everyone and so much to see and do. Bressingham is a great place to reconnect and to resest your family. It’s a gentle and easy day out that’s true, but even tricky tweenagers and teenagers can’t help but raise a smile whizzing round on the Gallopers or chuffing through the Norfolk & Suffolk countrywide aboard a train. And you can’t beat a round of Crazy Golf to get the family’s competitiveness going.
Why not treat them to a slice of cake the size of a small mountain from the Café (and a hot choc if you like) and a game of hide and seek in the gardens, and you can take them home happy and ready to start the school term on a high. Book now for the best deals on our website or simply turn up and pay on the day. https://bressingham.merlintickets.co.uk/collections/School%20Holiday%20Family%20Deals
We look forward to seeing you! Happy back-to-school weekend! Who needs socks anyway…? www.Bressingham.co.uk ❤️🚂🎠🌸🍰⛳️
