What to expect
This summer, save on admissions to The Postal Museum. That means cheaper tickets to ride Mail Rail, get hands-on with our interactive exhibitions, and step into the story as we celebrate 40 years of The Jolly Postman.
Included in your museum ticket
Tickets include unlimited access to all exhibitions for one year from the date of your visit and one ride on Mail Rail, valid on your first visit to the Museum.
-
Mail Rail
Secret, forgotten and abandoned until now. Take a ride and explore this unique experience.
-
Exhibitions
From cryptic Victorian Valentine cards to a lion encountered on Salisbury Plain. There’s nothing ordinary about the story of the post.
-
The Jolly Postman
Step inside the story in an immersive exhibition celebrating 40 years of the much-loved children’s book by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

Summer Holidays at The Postal Museum
