Thursford Collection

A love of show business and steam

Thursford Collection is a working museum of mechanical organs, Wurlitzer shows, a silent movie theatre and old fashioned fairground carousels. There are also static displays of both fairground engines and road engines plus all kinds of related memorabilia. Ride on beautifully restored gallopers and gondolas and hear the music of the mighty Wurlitzer.

Two behind-the-scenes tours daily Mon-Fri which explores the famous Christmas Spectacular with its dressing rooms, costume stores, Fantasy Land, George Cushing’s engine yard, complete with films of the engines in action.
