Warmley Signal Box will also be open on both days and the three local venues will again be linked by a free heritage bus service.
In addition, the Friends of the Museum will be holding a huge sale of second hand books and vinyl records on both days 11am to 4pm. Why not take a seat at the wonderful Windmill Tea Room - it will be open for refreshments 11am to 4.30pm.
