Crewe Heritage Trust has announced when Crewe Heritage Centre reopens on 1 April 2026, children will enjoy free admission all season.

This is a saving of £6 per child per visit compared to 2025. The initiative underscores the Trust's commitment to making local heritage accessible, engaging and great value for families.

This season will be one of the most exciting yet, with new displays and interactive experiences set to be unveiled over the coming months, alongside a full programme of special events designed for visitors of all ages.

This will enhance Crewe Heritage's favourites, which include:

  • The miniature railway
  • The model railway
  • The Crewe at War exhibition and the return of some old favourite objects
  • Standard‑gauge locomotives, including the 8000th locomotive built at Crewe Works and the world‑record‑holding APT‑P
  • The viewing platform
  • Historic signalling displays
  • Shop
  • Cafe

Families can also plan budget‑friendly days out with the return of Free Admission on Wednesdays during Cheshire East school holidays.

Chair of Crewe Heritage Trust who run Crewe Heritage Centre, Gordon Heddon, said: "Crewe Heritage Centre is here for the community, and this year we're bringing even more family‑friendly fun.

"Kids Go Free removes a barrier for families, and our team has been hard at work creating fresh displays and hands‑on interactives that bring Crewe's story to life.

"Whether you are a regular visitor or discovering us for the first time, there will be something new to explore on every visit."
