We love this place! And it’s just a stones throw away from us. 🙌🏼 There is a cafe on site, we always go to it after mooching around the museum! They have some great choices on the menu, and are also super kid friendly with toys/ colouring supplies etc. My boys love it here especially the vehicle hunts/maps! There is quite a bit to see and each vehicle has lots of information regarding the brand, manufacturer size etc, and of when they where made and what was happening within that time frame. A few vehicles you can go inside and sit in the drivers seats etc, which is fab.
All the vehicles are beautifully looked after, and all the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable! 😻 it’s a great place to visit! And it’s right on our door step! 🥰
We haven't been for ten years and it's really been improved. Definitely worth another visit if you haven't been for a while.
A museum I've wanted to visit for years so finally got the chance.Nice variety of vehicle types all connected to the town and local area.Not too big but not too crowded either so easy to get round.Definitely worth the visit👍👍
Well thought it was just a museum but it was better than expected. The amount of information that each exhibit had was excellent. Cafe was open and staff friendly. Can understand why staff are proud of the heritage that Leyland brought to the world.
Great museum small but shows so many different variations of British trucks and buses. With lots of information boards explaining the history. Well worth a visit.

Researched on TripAdvisor first, saw reviews about being small but thought we would still try it as we were in the area. We were stood outside and felt it didn't look much from outside but luckily we still decided to go in. We were very surprised.
There is parking outside the door, wheelchair accessible and easy to get to off the M6, and surprisingly quick from North Greater Manchester etc
The museum is all on a ground floor too.
It is a Lovely, very well presented museum, with very knowledgeable volunteers who some have worked within the industry. All vehicles are in very good working condition and were upkept throughout our visit lots of times to an immaculate condition. It is £10 for adults, free under 4. Lots of interactive exhibits and able to go on 6 of the vehicles which my little girl loved.
Great to see how well they have all been reconditioned. They have squeezed in a selection of the most amazing vehicles with lots of good information. A fascinating trip back in time through British HGV and bus history. A wide spread of stuff from traction engines to the armoured Pope mobile. plenty of stuff to stir memories, but still child friendly too.
They even have a corner for younger children with some interactive games and a littleride on car.
Very entertaining and interesting place. Well worth a visit.
Absolutely worth a visit if you hold an interest in transport and are in the area. Plenty to keep the kids interested too. Lovely afternoon spent learning the story of Leyland and seeing all the wonderful history.
Highly recommended
£10 well spent, I learned a lot, and all the exhibits were well looked after.
My only disappointment was the gift shop, which didn't have much in the way of truck models, or memorabilia.
Amazing engineering. Shows how we were years ago. Good cafe. Shop has some good stuff. Sensibly priced.
Lovely place to take a 2 year old vehicle enthusiast. £10 adults, free under 4. Lots of interactive exhibits and able to go on 6 of the vehicles. Lots of hand sanitiser available. Great to see how well they have been reconditioned.
A fascinating trip back in time through British HGV and bus history. A wide spread of stuff from traction engines to the armoured Pipe mobile. If you are older, plenty of stuff to stir memories, but still child friendly
Knowledgeable, friendly staff, some of whom have worked in the industry.
Parking outside the door, easy to get to off the M6, and surprisingly quick from North Greater Manchester etc
Level access throughout for disabled visitors.
Child friendly, with fire engines they can climb on.
Some nice quirky stuff like the dummy lorry used in the Smiths Scampi Fries snack advert.
