Pendon Museum

Pendon Museum preserves the idyllic rural scene and transport of the 1920s and 30s in a miniature form for future generations to enjoy.

We are an independent, accredited museum run almost entirely by volunteers and funded by visitors and our loyal Friends. We aim to provide an enjoyable and informative experience:

• for family groups
• for those interested in all disciplines of modelling
• for those interested in 20th Century rural England, its buildings and its railways. 

We usually open at weekends, most Bank Holidays, Wednesdays in most school holidays and Thursdays in August. We have a winter closure period until 3 February 2019.

It would be helpful if you could either buy tickets in advance or print the Gift Aid form and bring a completed copy to the museum with you. 

The audio guide is free to those donating Gift Aid and our team of volunteer guides make your visit as enjoyable and informative as they can.
