Events

Saturday July 13th
Railway Photograph Fair
The second of our popular railway photograph fairs this year.  As usual we will have the former nursery building full of tables with photographs for sale from the following dealers - Jeremy Sutor, Roger Carpenter, Rod Blencowe, Duncan Chandler, 813 Fund, Brian Moakes, Barrie Geens, Chris Wilkinson (Worcester Locomotive Association) and John Pedder (8F Society.  The museum will also have its collection to look at.  Sadly Barry Bull (friends of Hampton Loade station) cannot be with us on July 13th.  Refreshment are available either in the former nursery or in the main museum building.  A new footpath access has been made to give easy access from the two buildings.  The fair will start at 10.00am and close at 4.30pm.  Admission is free.  If you want to add to your collection and find those elusive photographs of favourite locations and locomotives, then you must come and join us for the day.

Saturday 17th August to September 29th
Railart 2024
The annual art exhibition featuring works by members of the Guild of Railway artists.  There will be a variety of sizes, styles and media used including oils, acrylics, water colour, pen and ink and a huge variety of subjects, all with a railway theme.  The exhibition will feature works by all the top railway artists in the country.  Most of the paintings will be for sale, and have been specially prepared for this exhibition.  None will have been seen before.

The exhibition will open at 2pm on Saturday 17th August and is open daily from 10am to 4pm until Sunday 29th September at 2pm.  If you want to combine your visit to the Railart exhibition with a trip on the Severn Valley Railway, then please check the SVR timetables because the trains will not be running every day that the exhibition is open.

There are normally between 50 and 60 paintings to look at amongst the railwayana on the upper floor of the museum building, and even if you do not buy a painting you can vote for the painting you like the best. If you like art, and especially that relating to railways, you will not be disappointed.

Saturday 28th September and Sunday 29th September
