Time travellers: Canals and railways

The 1850s saw transport steaming ahead! Steam travel meant people could get around the country faster than ever before. Steam trains and boats are now iconic.

Can you beat our transport challenge? Make your own model boat or train to take on your adventures!

*Friday 14 August: SEND session: SEND families are welcome at all of our events. We also run dedicated SEND-friendly sessions at Castleford Museum on Fridays in the school holidays. These sessions will have a more relaxed atmosphere.

Travel through time at Castleford Museum these summer holidays! We'll be exploring a different era of history each week. All activities free and no booking required.
