Step into 150 years of railway history with a special anniversary exhibition at Ravenglass Railway Museum, celebrating a remarkable milestone since passenger services first began in 1876. Running from March to the end of August 2026, this inspiring exhibition tells the story of how passenger travel shaped the railway, the communities it served, and the generations of visitors who have enjoyed journeys through the stunning Eskdale Valley. Discover original artefacts, rare archive photography, personal stories, interactive displays and fascinating insights into how travel has evolved from Victorian times to the present day.

Perfect for railway enthusiasts, families and anyone looking for meaningful things to do in the Lake District, the Ravenglass Railway Museum Exhibition – Passenger 150 offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate heritage, engineering, and the people who made the railway what it is today. Make a day of it with a visit to the museum, explore Ravenglass village, and enjoy a journey on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway to complete your heritage experience. Join us anytime between March and August 2026 and be part of 150 years of passenger history. Entry to the museum is free, with donations welcomed.
