A new exciting connection between three heritage sites in Worcestershire:

Norton Collection Museum in Bromsgrove, Transport Museum Wythall in Redditch, and Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings in Bromsgrove, are making it easier for visitors who travel by train, access their days out, events and places of interest.

The venture is supported by the Worcestershire Community Rail Partnership.

During a series of special weekends event list coming soon 

free return Heritage Bus rides, will run from Bromsgrove Train Station via the Norton Collection Museum in the heart of Bromsgrove and onto Avoncroft Museum in around twenty minutes.

The idea of bringing together three of the areas most cherished heritage museums and providing access to visitors from railway stations further up the line, that call at Bromsgrove, has been made possible by Bromsgrove Council Cultural Compact.

By opening up and connecting the North Worcestershire Heritage Trail, a newly named collection of places of interest in the region all three of the organisation’s involved hope to welcome visitors from out of area, and make it easy for them as possible.

If you would like to come to one of our major events at Avoncroft Museum this year What’s on here or the Norton Collection Museum  and live further away and you do not have access to a car.  Look at your train timetable and see if they stop at Bromsgrove Train Station, if they do when you arrive at Bromsgrove Station just hop on to one of the Vintage busses for FREE  provided by the Transport Museum Wythall   on Special Event days they will be stopping out side the Station throughout the day.  After your day out all you have to do is jump on the return bus that will take you back to Bromsgrove Station again for free.
