Programme of Events

The Black Country Living Museum is an award-winning open air attraction which unites the past and the present in an unforgettable 'living' experience. The Museum has a host of fascinating events lined up for the next twelve months designed to ensure visitors enjoy an unbeatable Black Country day out.

On the first Saturday of every month between February and December historic vehicles from the Marston collection will take a spin of the Museum's circuit. Motoring marvels from the early 1900s up to the 1930s take centre stage and these rare gems are sure to be the torque of the town! The Marston group are often on site carrying out vital restoration work. For more details contact the Museum on 0121 557 9643.

It's full steam ahead on every 3rd weekend of the month when the only full sized working replica of the world's first Newcomen steam engine billows into life. The colliery steam winder and fan engine will ensure there'll be plenty of hot air.

Grab a ticket to ride each weekend at the Black Country Living Museum where the Transport Group will be going off their trolley over vintage buses. Visitors can hop aboard the ‘King of the Road’ for an environmentally-friendly trip down memory lane.
