There’s lots to do, making the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft a great family day out for all ages!

It’s not just old buses – we have a Toy Museum, a Cycle Shop Museum, a replica pre-fab home, play areas for the youngsters, a Lecture Theatre/Cinema showing videos and our Tea Trolley Cafe. We have a reputation for friendliness and good value – check out the reviews our visitors give us on Google Maps and Trip Advisor.

Founded in 1969 on part of a former wartime RAF station, to house, restore and run trolleybuses when they were fast disappearing from Britain’s streets, the Museum has grown from a handful of vehicles and now has over 50 – the largest collection of preserved trolleybuses in the world. And, having purchased additional land in recent years, we now have ambitious plans to expand our facilities and exhibitions – see our News page.
