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.

Comedy Club 4 Kids

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! Over twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, popping up at festivals like Glastonbury, End Of The Road and Camp Bestival. They have also published a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and host their own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world. In August 2025, they won The Victoria Wood Award, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ panel prize, in recognition of our two decades in this glorious endeavour. The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob. “A highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy… with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club” – The Guardian ***** “An essential treat.” – Fest Magazine “Absolutely hilarious.” – The Yorkshire Times **** “The ethos is just right” – The Daily Telegraph “The perfect way to entertain the whole family.” – Three Weeks “All in all this show was great.” – The Scotsman “Comedy Club 4 Kids has...
