Came across this place by accident with some friends, had an excellent time here. Was incredible chatting to Alex and John, who offered a wealth of stories you rarely come across, but are crucial to the UK's history. The men here are custodians of a national memory that will be lost without their work. Support them!

Irchester Narrow Gauge Railway Museum can be found within Irchester Country Park and is home to a collection of exhibits and industrial artifacts, which include steam and diesel locomotives and a lifesize diorama of a quarry along with many other interesting displays. It is run by volunteers who I have to say have an amazingly knowledge of the local quaries and the the railways that served them. They were particularly engaging with my sons and egar to answer all their questions. Sadly it's only open on a Sundays 10am - 3pm but that only depending on the volunteer availability. There is no admission fee but donations are warmly welcomed.

Great opportunity to learn about the history of the area and see what's been worked on by the volunteers. Very helpful staff and keen to share their knowledge as you walk around the meter gauge locomotives. Dioramas show what the area looked like and the work carried out around Wellingborough, Irchester and Irthlingborough. Irchester Country Park provide paid parking (coin or card) and easy access to the site, definitely worth stopping by. Cash and card accepted by the shop along with QR codes around for online donations if wanted.

Super place i was this weekend with kids,open just on sunday. Is free of charge but is nice to make small donation.

Lovely little museum to visit set in a great park which is good for a nice walk, with ample parking that is very reasonable priced.
