About the event
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Brading at our Open Day! The Brading Heritage Centre invites visitors of all ages to explore the town’s fascinating past through engaging exhibits, interactive displays, and hands-on experiences.
A highlight of the day is the chance to operate our historic signal box – a rare opportunity to experience the workings of this iconic piece of railway history for yourself. Our friendly volunteers will guide you through the signals, plungers, and levers, making it a fun and educational experience for both adults and children.
Whether you’re a history buff, a family looking for a unique day out, or simply curious about Brading’s heritage, there’s something for everyone at this special event. Come and discover, learn, and make history come alive!
