Step into the golden era of steam locomotives at Brighton Toy Museum's special Train Running Day on October 12th!

With the protective screens removed, you’ll have the rare opportunity to witness the museum's collection in all its glory, as our treasured locomotives come to life before your eyes.

The museum doors open at 10:30 AM, and your ticket grants you access for the entire day. Take your time to explore, enjoy, and immerse yourself in the magic of locomotive history.
