In a heartwarming and poignant adaptation of Michelle Magorian’s beloved novel, Chippenham Youth Theatre brings Goodnight Mister Tom to life on stage. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this moving production tells the story of young William Beech, an evacuee from London, who is sent to the countryside to escape The Blitz. There, he finds an unexpected home with the reclusive but kind-hearted Tom Oakley. As their bond grows, William discovers friendship, love, and a sense of belonging he has never known before.
This special performance marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day, celebrating the resilience and courage of those who lived through the war. With a talented young cast, evocative staging, and a story that continues to resonate across generations, Goodnight Mister Tom is a powerful tribute to the enduring spirit of hope and kindness in times of adversity.
Please note – some scenes may be upsetting to young audiences. Recommended for ages 8+
Tickets: Standard £15.00 / Concessions £12.00

Join us for a more relaxed visit at the REME Museum during this special opening outside of our regular hours.

These sessions are primarily for, though not limited to, anyone who has sensory processing disorder; autism; social, emotional or mental health needs; dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or any other sensory needs.
During these days we will have:
Lights On – our overhead gallery lighting will be turned on, without spotlights, to create a brighter environment in which to explore.
Sounds Down – we will reduce sound effects throughout the museum as much as possible by turning off most ‘surround sound’ interactives and reducing volumes.
Sensory maps – we have marked out any areas around the museum where you may find louder interactives or visual effects that we cannot turn off. This means you can choose your own route and avoid any areas as you wish.
If you would like to bring any sensory items (including but not limited to ear defenders, magnifying glass, book, squeezy toy) that will help you or your loved one to enjoy their experience better, please feel free to do so, just make sure you hold onto it and take it home with you!
Further Information

Pre-booking is essential for these visits, please use our online booking system.
Usual entry fees apply. Included in your annual pass.
Any visitors who wish to join us for the full museum experience, including normal sound effects and visuals, should avoid visiting during these special openings. We advise you to book a general admission visit.
