Due to the current Corona virus outbreak, many attractions are delaying their 2020 season opening times and event organisers are cancelling or postponing their events.
While we will try to update the information on this site as much as possible, we cannot guarantee to have all the information we would like.
Therefore we urge you to check the latest information on the attraction or event's website or Facebook pages, and to contact them before travelling to avoid disappointment.
The East Midlands has an interesting mix of museums, transport centres, e.g. the East Anglian Transport Museum, and railways as well as bus and aviation museums, not forgetting a rich choice of windmills and canals.
The Steam Heritage Guide includes contact details, opening times and description of preservation and heritage attractions in the East Midlands area.
