​We aim to be open Sundays from Spetember - November 2021 (subject to volunteer availability).
Saturday 4th December 2021 is our Community Christmas Fayre and Elf Hunt Event. (more details to follow).
​
Our Volunteers will be  practicing Covid -safe working practices

• The Museum, Station Masters Office and Shop will be open but our catering facility is not yet fully operational
  • The toilet facility is not fully operational so we have 'gender neutral toilets' with one person at a time. We still have work to complete and the area is not fully decorated.​
  • By Easter 2022 we have completed the work and will have a new disabled accessible facilty with baby change area.
• We do not yet have a date to start running trains as all our locomotives need to be recertified after which our safety critical staff can all receive refreshers to enable them to crew trains​ ​

Kirkby Stephen East is on the outskirts of the small Upper Eden town of Kirkby Stephen. We can be accessed using the A66 from Scotch Corner or from the Tebay Junction 38 on the M6, following the A685.

​A66 route: turn off at the A685 marked Brough / Kirkby Stephen. Drive through the town and we are immediately after the Croglin Castle Appartments on the right. Tebay route: follow A685 past Kirkby Stephen West Station (Settle and Carlisle Line) and turn left just after the bridge before the Croglin Castle Pub.

You can reach us by public transport, too. The Settle and Carlisle Railway has regular trains from Leeds, Skipton, Carlisle and several smaller towns along the way to Kirkby Stephen. We are a 20 minute walk from the mainline rail station. You can also visit us by vintage bus! For details, please visit https://www.cumbriaclassiccoaches.co.uk/.
