Lots and lots of wonderful mechanical music machines, and an old merry-go-round. The organs range from mid-sized up to huge dance organs.

It's quite close to Fakenham, about a three-hour drive from London. The nearest main rail station is Norwich (London 2 hours), about 30 miles away with a fair bus service to Thursford or the museum may have a minibus for parties.
