Late-Night Opening at the Museum of Making – A Greatest Gathering After-Party

Fri 1st Aug 2025
5:30 PM till 10:00 AM
£3.5

As part of the Greatest Gathering celebrations, the Museum of Making will be opening its doors late into the evening for a special one-off event – and you're invited.

After a full day of exploring Derby’s rich rail heritage, wind down in style at this exclusive after-party. Enjoy creative dishes from the River Kitchen, sip a railway-themed pint at the Italian Mill bar, and take your time browsing the museum’s remarkable collections of making, industry and railway ephemera.

There’ll even be a rare evening run of one of the UK’s oldest model railways – a must-see highlight for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Whether you're a die-hard railway fan or just fancy a unique night out in the city, this is the perfect way to round off the day.

Booking is essential.

Open to all.
