Join Risca Museum for their Open Day in conjunction with the Western Valleys Model Railway Club!

Outside, there will be ‘old-fashioned’ games for you to try your hand at. Experience ‘going underground’ but be prepared to get your hands and knees dirty!
Inside, talk to local experts about what life was like in the South Wales Valleys during the last 250 years.
Try your hand at firefighting, World War Two style!
Outside, you can get closer to some of the artefacts our grandparents used to ‘shape’ the way we live today in South Wales, with saws, drills and planes.
Pick up a quiz sheet (adult quiz and children’s quiz) and you’ll find there’s a weet little prize at the end!
Upstairs, find the railway modellers showing local and distant layouts including Pontypool Road, Newport & District
Downstairs, look out for the printers, who will explain how printing was done way, way before we hit the ‘print’ button on our electronic devices!
