We went to the open day on the 7/3/20,we had a 40min free ride in an old bus. Really took us back to our childhood, the kids loved it ????. The museum is a credit to the people that run it. Amazing fun, and such lovely volunteers thankyou so much. I would recommend to anyone.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Really interesting little museum and gorgeous leatherwork throughout. Staff there were lovely and really helpful too - even offering to help my son make his own personalised leather key ring, which he loved. Beautiful, quality leather items in the gift shop too!

Great atmosphere, beer and staff... patrons are pretty great too. Had the cozy feel of an old time pub, but isn't dated.
