The Crich Tramway Village will be holding “Have Your Say” days at the museum to help shape its future. The first took place on Wednesday 3rd September and the second will be on Wednesday 17th September, the sessions will give visitors a chance to share their thoughts on ideas for the National Tramway Museum as it plans for the 2030s and beyond.
The sessions are part of a £88,080 future planning project called “Foundations First”. This has been funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and is aimed at improving organisational sustainability for the museum.
Working with audience experts A Different View, the museum team will present a range of ideas – from simple changes like adding more costumed guides, to bigger plans like a new admissions and orientation centre.
Graham Bennett, Chief Executive at Crich Tramway Village, said: “It’s great to have this support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players our volunteers and members are going to be able to plan future developments here in the knowledge that these have a strong grounding with visitors and potential visitors.”
