‘Peep Behind the Scenes’ is an annual event which has been held since 2010.[1]
An additional charge (£5.00) is applied on the day for a wristband allowing access to areas normally closed to the public. In certain years access has included Kidderminster Carriage Repair Works, Kidderminster Carriage Shed (via a shuttle train from Kidderminster Station), Kidderminster signal box, Bewdley North signal box, Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department, No 4150 in Bewdley Yard and Bridgnorth MPD.
The 4150 Fund organised the event from 2010-2016 with money raised through the sale of wristbands being their major fundraising event, with proceeds going towards the 4150 Restoration Fund.[2] In its 2017 newsletter the 4150 Fund announced that the Charitable Trust was taking over as organisers from the 2017 event.[3]
