Crich Tramway Village is located in the village of Crich in the beautiful Dales and offers plenty to do for all the family with over 60 trams dating from 1873 to 1982, and events right through August.

The museum is now operating tram rides once again following the completion of essential maintenance work.

Monday the 1st and Tuesday the 2nd of August will see the popular ‘Built It’ event return with visitors getting the chance to build an incredible LEGO® mosaic, with guidance from Fairy Bricks. Thousands of bricks will be mixed together to build a wonderful visual spectacle.
