Crich Tramway Village will not open for its new season on Saturday, March 11, for safety reasons. Trams are unable to run along tracks that are covered in snow.

General manager Dr Mike Galer, said: “It is hugely disappointing for us due to all the hard work from our salaried and volunteer workforce to get for opening and I’m sure, for our visitors, but safety is paramount and the site is not currently accessible.

"We hope to open for the new season as soon as possible and will keep the public informed via our website and social media.”
