The East Anglia Transport Museum will be going back to the 1960s and taking visits to the seaside and London as part of their busy programme of special events for 2025, which have just been announced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The only museum in the UK which offers tram, trolleybus and train rides on any given day, and bus trips on special occasions, the East Anglia Transport Museum in Carlton Colville near Lowestoft, Suffolk has been going from strength to strength in recent years and with this latest set of special events 2025 looks like being no different.<\/p>\n
Event highlights for the year look set to include 1960s Weekend (Saturday 17th<\/sup> and Sunday 18th<\/sup> May), Seaside Weekend (Saturday 12th<\/sup> and Sunday 13th<\/sup> July, including opening until 1900 on the Saturday) and the London Event (Saturday 27th<\/sup> and Sunday 28th<\/sup> September, including running until 2100 on the Saturday).<\/p>\n Trams are likely to play significant roles in the events as always. Obviously the Seaside Event lends itself to the several Blackpool trams resident at the museum whilst London Transport 1858<\/strong> is likely to be a major exhibit at the London Event. And of course the East Anglia Transport Museum is not just about the trams with plenty of London and seaside related trolleybuses in the collection as well as various motorbuses too.<\/p>\n One regular event which is missing from the special events list for 2025 is the Trolleybus Weekend which will be taking a break from the calendar this year and has been replaced by the London Event.<\/p>\n Confirmed events:<\/p>\n Friday 18th<\/sup>, Saturday 19th<\/sup> and Sunday 20th<\/sup> April \u2013 Easter Treasure Hunt<\/p>\n Saturday 17th<\/sup> and Sunday 18th<\/sup> May \u2013 1960s Weekends<\/p>\n Saturday 12th<\/sup> and Sunday 13th<\/sup> July \u2013 Seaside Special<\/p>\n Saturday 27th<\/sup> and Sunday 28th<\/sup> September \u2013 London Event<\/p>\n Saturday 25th<\/sup> and Sunday 26th<\/sup> October \u2013 Halloween<\/p>\n Saturday 6th<\/sup>, Sunday 7th<\/sup>, Saturday 13th<\/sup>, Sunday 14th<\/sup>, Saturday 20th<\/sup> and Sunday 21st<\/sup> December \u2013 Ride the Lights<\/p>\n Thursday 1st<\/sup> January 2026 \u2013 New Year’s Day<\/p>\n The museum reopens for the 2025 season on Sunday 6th<\/sup> April.
