      Our Tea Trolley cafe is managed and staffed by trained Trolleybus Museum volunteers and has a hygiene rating of 5 (the highest you can get!). It is hailed for its freshly-prepared, good-quality, wholesome food at affordable prices and its friendly service. With a range of hot and cold drinks available, the cakes are a particular
       favourite amongst visitors.
      We believe in Good Quality, Value-for-Money – and Satisfied Customers!

      The Museum Shop carries a selection of confectionery, cold drinks and Thaymar ice cream as well as a range of toys, gifts and souvenirs. For the enthusiast we have a large stock of books, models and DVDs with the emphasis on trolleybuses but also including other forms of transport. We often have secondhand books and magazines available for sale as well.

      We have a playground for younger visitors. There are more games in the Tram Shelter, which we rescued from Huddersfield, or in the Family Room (see below).
    • Family Room and children’s indoor play area – including a new SOFT PLAY zone
    • Sales Stalls Show More

      On most open days you’ll find at least one sales stall provided by other societies inside the depot building, raising funds for the preservation and restoration of their vehicles by selling secondhand books, magazines, models, photographs and other transport ephemera. At our larger events, particularly the Sandtoft Gathering they’re usually joined by more than 20 other stalls!
