Join us at Whitehead Railway Museum Summer Craft Fair, a vibrant celebration of creativity, heritage and community set within the unique surroundings of our historic railway site.

Throughout the event, our station platform will be filled with a wide variety of stalls showcasing handcrafted goods from talented crafters, artists and heritage skill makers. Visitors can browse and buy unique, locally made items while enjoying the atmosphere of a heritage railway.

(To take part as a vendor, please return this form.)

In addition to the craft stalls, guests will have full access to our five-gallery museum, where the rich story of railway history is brought to life through fascinating exhibits, artefacts and restored railway heritage displays.

Hauled by our 105 year-old steam locomotive No.3BG "Guinness", there will be short steam train rides available within our premises using our heritage carriages. You will be transported to a bygone era!

This family-friendly event offers a wonderful mix of shopping, history and hands-on heritage experiences, making it a must-visit summer event for all ages.

Our café will be open for hot and cold food and refreshments.
