The Head of Steam - Darlington Railway Museum is undergoing major redevelopment in 2023. Essential improvements are being carried out on the site, and during this time the museum is not open to the public.
Work has officially started on the construction of a major visitor destination which will be at the heart of the Bicentennial Anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 2025.
Digital and technological investment will bring history to life and plans include a new immersive ride experience the likes of which are only seen in theme parks.
The attraction will have a café and shop, themed play area, show field, a new live engineering building, temporary exhibition space, archive and extended car parking. The project is being supported by £20million of funding from the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear the latest news!
