Transport Museum Wythall - 2021 Events

Transport Museum Wythall Announces 2021 Events Programme

Transport Museum Wythall’s programme for 2021 uses its established formula from 2020 with Covid-19 compliance firmly in place until Government begins easing the regulations.
​
•    Covid-19 programme schedule to start the year - easing as restrictions improve 
•    Full operating days on bank holidays 
•    New vehicles on the road for 2021
•    Two new special themed events for August and October
•    Private owner vehicles welcome ​

TMW and Covid-19 schedule
From August 2020 TMW provided the socially distanced safety of online booking at scheduled times, a one-way system around the halls and shop, a convenient ‘outdoor’ café and sanitised free bus rides for all. This theme will continue for the season start as a form of social distancing is expected to be retained into the spring. As the rules change, TMW will amend its schedule as appropriate – watch the website.
​
The season commences on 27 March with opening times of 11.00-16.30 on Saturdays, bank holiday Sundays and Mondays, Wednesdays during school holidays and half terms until 31 October. Event days will be open from 10.30–17.00.
