Journey on one of the many beautifully restored vintage trams, as they rumble through the cobbled street past a traditional police telephone known as the 'TARDIS', the Red Lion pub & restaurant, exhibition hall, workshops, children's play and picnic area, before passing beneath the magnificent Bowes-Lyon Bridge. Next it's past the bandstand, through the woods, and then on to Glory Mine taking in spectacular views of the Derwent Valley.

Special Events

New for 2002
This year sees the opening of two new visitor facilities. The Red Lion pub, and the new Workshop Galleries. The Red Lion has been moved stone by stone from Stoke on Trent and re-erected in its new home at the heart of Crich Tramway Village; upstairs will house a carvery restaurant. Thanks to funding from the National Lottery, new Workshop Galleries will enable visitors to see at first hand the traditional skills of restoring and maintaining the vintage trams.
