Fire Engine Rally

Date: 04/07/2026 - 05/07/2026

Fire Engine Rally

Our Annual Fire Engine Rally Returns!

Join us for a fun-filled day for the whole family, with red paint, flashing lights, and sirens galore!

See the Museum come alive with fire engines spanning over a century - from early 1900s classics to modern-day machines.

Throughout the day, enjoy live demonstrations, including:

  • A dramatic rescue from the saw pit
  • A fire at the railway station
  • Saving a cat from the roof of the cricket pavilion
  • …and plenty more exciting displays!

There’ll also be a chance to live your firefighter dream - climb into the cab of selected vehicles (with owner permission), explore inside the lockers, and even take a ride around the Museum on a vintage fire engine.

This is one of our most popular summer events, perfect for families and enthusiasts alike - we can’t wait to see you there!
