Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dereham’s rail links - in war and peace
Heritage Open Day: Trains, talks, that old station atmosphere, and more. Something for everyone, including crafty kids! Discover how the local railway has served the area for over 175 years through a special Serving in War and Peace display, supported by a short illustrated talk and Museum Room exhibits. Watch heritage trains as they arrive/depart, some scheduled to be steam-hauled. You might even get to see the fireman replenish the steam loco tanks from the water crane. And, for a real insight into railway life of the past, a retired railwayman who has been there, done that - and has the T-shirt, will recount a selection of his reminiscences and anecdotes in another of our illustrated short talks. For younger crafty kids (accompanied by an adult) we offer very simple paper-based craft and/or decorating, while for older children (and adults!) there is our station trail and a Tea Room quiz sheet.
