Crich Tramway Village - Matlock

A lovely day out for the enthusiast. We had three trams running on our visit and was able to ride on them with ease. The other attractions, such as the Woodland walk was a pleasant activity. The tram museum is very informative with a good collection of trams and their history. There are plenty of places to sit down but I would recommend bringing your own food/picnic as the small on site cafe has very limited table accommodation inside.

What a great day we had, it's steam punk weekend here, and decided to go along to find out what it was like. £25 per adult but free to come back within 12 months. Blast from the past as you walk down to the recreation of tram life with the extra of alot of people dressed up in their desired steam punk outfits. Great to see them all.
So much to see with the history of trams, and the woodland walk is a must, we really enjoyed this part. Cant wait to go back again.

Crich Tramway Village is an absolute delight for all ages! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warmest and most helpful staff and volunteers who clearly love what they do. Their passion and friendliness truly made the day extra special.

The whole experience is beautifully nostalgic, like stepping back in time. Riding the vintage trams through the scenic countryside is both relaxing and fascinating. The recreated period street, old-style sweet shops, exhibitions, and woodland walk make it a full day out, rain or shine!

One of the best surprises? Free parking and the fact that a full-price ticket gives you unlimited return visits for a whole year! That’s incredible value for money — we’ll definitely be coming back again (and again)!

Whether you’re into history, transport, or just looking for a fun and peaceful family day out, Crich Tramway Village is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

THERE IS A SOFT PLAY AREA AND OUTDOOR PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN !! NO ONE WILL FEEL BOARD HERE

Totally surprised myself by how interesting I found this! These are beautiful to look and watch as they go past. Such a shame that we don't use these anymore! There was plenty to do and see. The woodland walks with the wooden sculptures were great! We loved the wooden potato head! We all enjoyed the Tram ride through the village! Great day out!

Highly recommend a visit here. Visited as a family and enjoyed by all. The staff were great, plenty to explore. Tram rides are brilliant for the trail up to the top or just for a return ride. The gift shop and sweet shop offer treats for reasonable prices. Great value entry and automatically gives you a years pass to return.

Great day out. A big part of family holidays when I was a child was riding the trams at Blackpool along the seafront. Seeing a couple of these at the museum brought back some very happy memories. My parents would have rode on trams like some of these when they were young. It’s fantastic to see so many all in one place and all so well preserved. I love this sort of place. It’s so amazing that people had the foresight to save these items, be they trams or trains or buses, vintage cars, old buildings. They deserve our full support. Will definitely pay another visit.

Fantastic place to visit and spend the day. I can throughly recommend Crich Tramway Village for a fantastic experience. The place is staffed by very friendly people and they are all very helpful and welcoming. I loved exploring the garages where the trams are stored and maintained and there is plenty of information about the history of each tram. The restaurant serves good quality food and is good value for money. I really enjoyed the tram rides and there was plenty of opportunities to stop off and get off at the different stops so that you explore more and enjoy a walk around the area.
Thank you so much to the volunteers and workers who make this place such a fantastic place to visit.

Well, I didn't know how much I liked trams!!!
This is a very sweet place with a whole tonne of information. It's not cheap to get in but I felt worth it for the time and effort that the volunteers, (who were brilliant) put in.
There's lots of loos, a sweet shop, pub and cafe as well as an interesting walk. The trams are beautifully restored and great fun to ride on!
