About National Railway Museum
Standing beneath the streamlined curves of the Mallard, we've watched countless guests pause mid-conversation, captivated by the sheer scale of engineering history surrounding them. Here at the National Railway Museum in York, we transform our remarkable collection into extraordinary event spaces that bring 300 years of rail heritage to life. Our Great Hall houses legendary locomotives including the world's fastest steam engine and the pioneering Japanese Bullet Train, creating an atmosphere that sparks conversation and wonder. The Station Hall showcases our Royal Carriages, where Queen Victoria once traveled in splendor—now serving as a dramatic backdrop for gala dinners and award ceremonies. We can accommodate everything from board meetings for 20 to grand receptions for 1,000 guests, with each space offering its own character. The conference centre provides six meeting rooms equipped with modern presentation technology, perfect for corporate seminars and training sessions. Our team particularly enjoys setting up the restored Countess of York carriage for smaller gatherings—there's something special about hosting afternoon tea meetings in an authentic 1906 dining car. Our catering team sources ingredients from Yorkshire farms and producers, creating menus that reflect the quality of our surroundings. Whether planning a wedding breakfast, corporate lunch, or cocktail reception, we accommodate all dietary requirements while maintaining our commitment to local sourcing. Just a short walk from York railway station, we're easily accessible for delegates traveling from across the country. Our events team works closely with organizers to ensure smooth logistics, from AV setup in the conference rooms to transforming the Great Hall for evening celebrations. The combination of our world-class collection and dedicated event spaces creates memorable experiences that go beyond typical venue hire.
