We start the year as we finished 2024: closed, but regularly on-site maintaining, improving and setting up for when we reopen on Saturday, March 1st. Many changes have happened since we have closed, including changes to the signalling system and an increase in vegetation in the viewing area. New for 2025 is a Market Day Friday timetable supporting Wymondham and Dereham’s Market Days. These trains will provide access to many Market Day events, including:

~1st March: Dereham model railway exhibition (1st running day).

~22nd-23rd March: 30th anniversary of MNR event.

~11th May: Vintage bus day.

~24th-26th May: Diesel Gala.

~27th-29th June: Steam Gala.

~2nd-3rd August: 1940s weekend.

~22nd-25th August: food, Drink and Music festival.

~September Heritage open day.

~31st October-2nd November Halloween specials (exclusively departing from Wymondham abbey).

We regularly support Wymondham dementia support group and during the season at certain galas and events. We are looking at supporting other local traders and charities with stalls on site, so if you are interested, please contact wymondhamabbey@mnr.org.uk.
