Tramlight in 2026

Tramlight returns to the National Tramway Museum at Crich on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, with illuminated trams, entertainment and a woodland lantern trail. The trail opens at 4.30pm; the woodland walk is closed until then.

On Saturday the event runs from 2pm to 8pm, with the last tram at 7.30pm. On Sunday it runs from 2pm to 7pm, with the last tram at 6.30pm. The lantern trail closes at 7.30pm on Saturday and 6.30pm on Sunday.

This special event is not included in the museum’s annual return ticket. The museum lists advance tickets at £16 per adult and £8.50 per child, available online at least five hours before visiting; on-the-day tickets are £18 and £11. Visit Derby lists an £8 advance child price, so check the price at booking.

The museum’s FAQ says its access tram is out of operation, while its accessibility page says an access tram will be available from 12 September and Access Tram 2 will be bookable soon. Contact the museum to check current availability before travelling.
