Thursford Collection & Christmas Spectacular
Thursford Collection
A country museum housing steam engines and vintage fairground organs. Its Christmas show each winter is one of Britain's largest festive productions.
The Thursford Collection houses a large number of steam traction engines, fairground organs and Victorian carousels. Highlights include the Welte organ and a Wurlitzer cinema organ, both played in demonstrations. The Thursford Christmas Spectacular, staged each November and December, features more than a hundred performers and musicians, and it sells out well in advance, so book months ahead. During Christmas the site also has a shop decorated with festive lights.
