Highlights

  • Discover interactive exhibits that bring more than a century of postal engineering to life.
  • Take in a theatrical experience that transports you to the lively 1930s heyday of the railway.
  • From sorting mail in a Traveling Post Office to seeing the odd inventions that inspired it all, our entertaining displays bring you closer to the action.
  • From cryptic Victorian Valentine cards to a lion spotted on Salisbury Plain, there's something for everyone. There was also an odd pistol. The story in the post is anything but ordinary.
  • Some previous exhibitions include Wish You Were Here: 151 Years of the British Postcard, The Great Train Robbery: Crime & The Post, and Voices from the Deep.

Insider Tips

  • Arrive For Your Mail Rail Time Slot: Your visit starts at Mail Rail, so arrive at least 15 minutes before the time shown on your ticket to make sure you are not turned away.
  • Book Ahead, Especially On Weekends: Weekends and school holidays can sell out, so reserve your time slot online before you travel rather than relying on walk-up tickets.
  • Check You Can Walk 100 Meters Unaided: Boarding and riding Mail Rail requires walking about 100 meters without assistance, so plan ahead if mobility is a concern.
  • Bring Headphones For The Audio Guide: If you add the audio guide, bring your own headphones and collect your activation code at the ticket desk.
  • Prepare For Tight, Dark Spaces On The Train: The Mail Rail carriages are small and can be dark with sudden noises, so it is worth knowing this ahead if enclosed spaces feel uncomfortable.
