History & Heritage

Railway Village Museum Tour

Join us at The Railway Village Museum to step back in time at the cottage to discover Victorian traditions. Witness the sights, sounds and smells of local community life, and learn how a Great Western Railway worker would have lived with their family living in Swindon c1901. What are the details? This approximately 30 minute tour will be hosted from 3pm by a knowledgeable volunteer who will guide you through each room of the Railway Cottage. Visiting the Railway Village Museum is free of charge. However, as we rely heavily on donations and the generous support of our volunteers to remain open, any contribution is greatly appreciated. We are running a series of Tours throughout the year so if you can’t make this one, view our other events here. Important Information Booking is essential, the Museum tour will only go ahead if there are bookings. No food or drink is allowed inside the Museum. There are no toilet facilities at the Museum, but there are toilets available at the nearby supporting site: The Bakers’. Accessibility Wheelchair ramps are available for the Museum, with the ground floor accessible for wheelchairs. However due to tight corridors and narrow doorways some wheelchairs may not be able to enter the corridor. This is also why we ask that pushchairs are not brought inside. The stairs are steep so please take extra care when going upstairs.
