Located in the heart of York, the National Railway Museum brings together pivotal engineering history, world-class retail collections, and exceptional British hospitality. Whether browsing original railway-inspired treasures, enjoying an afternoon tea, or hosting a private evening reception, the museum offers a rich cultural experience set alongside Britain's iconic rail heritage.
Guests can indulge in one of York's premier luxury afternoon tea experiences aboard the Countess of York. Situated inside a beautifully restored rail carriage set within the magnificent Station Hall, this fine-dining experience serves a classic British menu of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, and handcrafted cakes and desserts, with dedicated children's options available. For larger occasions, the museum offers spectacular venue hire options, hosting corporate functions, private dinners, and landmark celebrations surrounded by historic steam engines and expansive exhibition halls.
