Our weekday opening this week is proving very popular! We will be open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (26 - 28 August) and on these days we have no set admission charge, although we appreciate donations to help us to keep the museum running.
Come and ride on our trolleybuses - we have the largest collection of historic trolleybuses in the world. We have visitors from all round the world and today Gagan and Binita from Nepal loved their ride on our Cleethorpes trolleybus as part of their UK holiday.
Our new Sandtoft & District Railway is running every day and is attracting many compliments from our visitors.
We have lots of other attractions to keep you busy - the Toy Museum, Cycle Shop, 1950s prefab, exhibition centre and cinema. We also have an excellent cafe and a well-stocked shop selling books and souvenirs.
Come and spend a day with us!
