Day in the Life Trail - Free Entry to REME Museum

We're celebrating Heritage Open Days by offering rare free entry during the 2026 Festival. With your free entry ticket, you get access to all of our permanent exhibition galleries, special exhibitions, annual family trail ‘Sportsfest’ and facilities including Crown’s Cafe, play park and gardens.

As part of this year’s celebration, we’re joining in with the Heritage Open Days theme of Everyday Histories, exploring daily working life through the ages. For one day only, completely for free, we’re putting on a special trail that will take you on a journey through the daily lives and routines of REME soldiers during WWII. Explore the galleries, build your day in the life and find out at the end which soldier’s routine you’ve chosen to follow!

Will you join us and make history part of your everyday?
