Reduced volunteer numbers at Whitrope in 2026
It is with considerable regret that, due to a reduced number of available volunteers, Whitrope Heritage Centre will need to operate on a very limited, ad hoc basis this year rather than offering its usual programme of open days, as previously advertised.
We sincerely appreciate that this may come as a disappointment, and we are especially grateful for your continued patience, support, and understanding during this time. If circumstances improve, we hope to be able to announce occasional open days at short notice.
Volunteers are often present on site at weekends, and at these times we will always do our very best to welcome visitors and, where possible, offer access to the centre and railway.
WRHA members’ free tickets included with this year’s membership can also be used next year.
