Matt Wakefield, Chief Executive and Trustee, will take us on a special conducted tour of the National Emergency Services Museum. The museum will be closed to the public during our visit so we will have it all to ourselves.
The museum is housed in a Victorian building which was a combined police, fire and ambulance station in Victorian times. It won the family-friendly museum of the year award in 2022.
The museum contains exhibitions about the Police, Fire and Ambulance services, as well as HM Coastguard and an exhibition about the Blitz. Learn about the story of the building in full and also hear about all the anniversaries that are being celebrated this year: 2025 marks the 100th year since the fire department left the building, 60 years since it closed as a police station, 100 years since the Gang Wars where this building played a vital role and not forgetting the 85th anniversary of the Sheffield Blitz. There's a lot going on at the NESM this year!
There is also a cafe that you can visit - it will be open before our tour.
