Voted East Midlands ‘Best Day Out’ by viewers of BBC East Midlands Today, Crich Tramway Village has developed into one of Derbyshire's most unique family attractions.

Trams run to and fro down a cobbled street past the former Derby Assembly rooms before passing under the Bowes-Lyon Bridge and climbing a mile and a half of track that provides breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Experience the fascinating Woodland Walk & Sculpture Trail which winds its way back to the village or remain on the tram and be dropped off outside The Red Lion Pub and Tearooms before visiting the fascinating Workshop Viewing Gallery. There are also picnic areas and indoor and outdoor play areas to keep the children entertained.

This year the team at Crich are launching Woodland Workshops which are taking place throughout the Summer Holidays. Children can take part in activities such as Woodland Yoga, African Drumming and even make their very own Woodland Goblin, Magic book or Totem Pole Mask to take home. Places are limited so please telephone to book in advance.

The Village is open daily until 29 October plus weekends in November and December. For more details Tel: 01773 854321 or visit www.tramway.co.uk.
