Visit websiteWhat an amazing collection of just about everything you can think of! A nice cafe that does nice food at a reasonable price. Bear in mind that this is not a museum so there's no one to answer any questions - you're just free to roam. To see everything, I would suggest a 3 hour (minimum) visit. There is so much to look at, you need a break mid visit! A very enjoyable morning spent there and I would recommend it - it certainly brings back memories and we'll worth the £10.00 admission.
Mostly a tractor museum but with tons of other old stuff too. Mostly things from 20th century but some a bit earlier. Lots of shop items, many kinds of chocolate, tools, all sorts. Probably best to take an old person to explain everything, as most things have no labels (tractors and cars do). Good clean facilities and restaurant, all indoors. My concern is that once the older generation passes away there will be no-one to explain what is here. Maybe there could be some kind of website for visitors to supply basic information about the exhibits. Some items are numbered so it would be easy to get people to describe what those things are, then the rest....? Worth a look, see what you think.
An interesting visit to the Oakham Treasures Museum earlier today, a Great Collection of Retro Things throughout British History, definitely worth visiting with Friends and Family "Don't forget to take plenty of Photos too!" 🤔 🏛 👍
Mind boggling amount of a lifetime of collecting things, absolutely fascinating place to visit, I am sure everyone will find something they love here, no matter what you are into. Especially if you you are interested in design or graphics, then the section with all of the food items, drinks and shop mock-ups were just incredible. I spent around 3+ hours here, and that doesn't really do it justice. Be sure to have a coffee and cake, other homemade food is available from the cafe too.
Fantastic little museum that's quite cheap to enter and a lot bigger than it looks. You can pick up and play with the vintage items as well as get up close to the vintage cars and motorbikes. The cafe is extremely cheap and friendly staff all round.
