The National Emergency Services Museum is a museum in Sheffield, England. Opened on 8 May 1984 as the "Sheffield Fire and Police Museum", it was given its present name on 1 January 2014.
The National Emergency Services Museum is the worlds largest joint 999 museum showing an insight into all of our Emergency Services through hands-on learning with history. With over 50 vehicles on site from manual and horse power to steam and motor and with 3 floors of exhibits to explore, discover and learn including real Victorian Police Cells (including smells!) there really is something for all the family !!!
Coffee Shop:
The museums Coffee Shop sells hot/cold drinks and light snacks. The Coffee Shop is also one of the warmest areas in
the museum with its wood burning fire.
Gift Shop:
The Museums Gift Shop is located next to our Coffee Shop and is the perfect place to buy that special gift.
It’s Cold:
The Museums is housed in the old Victorian Police, Fire and Ambulance Station in the centre of Sheffield and with its fantastic open Cobbled Yard and Police Cells, areas of the museum can get cold from time to time so don't forget your coat.
Disabled Access:
Disabled Access is limited around the museum due to cobbled floors and many steps. Disabled Toilets are available on the Ground Floor of the Museum and entry to wheelchair users is free.
Visitor Parking:
Sadly the museum does not have its own parking for visitors. The nearest parking can be found directly across from the museum on Workhouse Lane (Pay & Display).

Read All ReviewsAfter eventually finding it, I was amazed at the amount of interesting things that are at The National Emergency services museum. Lots of facts and history about the emergency services and how things have progressed over the years. There are lots of things to do and plenty of old vehicles to look around. No disabled parking available at the museum. The exhibits are spread over several buildings and floors and unfortunately there are no lifts for the disabled or for pushchair. Not a great place for the disabled as there are lots of stairs. Otherwise it is a good museum, with a wide variety of exhibits.
