A Steampunk weekend is making a return this summer, as well as the rescheduled new James Bond weekend event, highlighting the Museum’s involvement of being a location for ‘A View to a Kill’. There’s also plenty of family-focussed events, starting with Green Week (May half term), a Family Day on Father’s Day and on the August Bank Holiday, an Ale & Crafts Weekend.

The first event on May 23 is Industrial Trains Day, when a steam locomotive will be on the tracks for passenger rides for the first time in over 6 months, plus, narrow-gauge action is promised. Billingshurst signal box will be open and demonstrations on the industrial monorail and standard gauge railway are to take place.
