In support of the community exhibition at The Glebe in Crich, there will be a small exhibition in the Learning Centre of creative projects which were undertaken by staff and volunteers at the museum during lockdown.

Crich Tramway Village is also opening for an additional weekend on November 7/8, from 10am to 5.30pm with normal admission prices.
