What is Discover Milton Keynes?

It’s a big experiment!
It’s different to anything else in Milton Keynes - or elsewhere.
It’s the first of its kind…

And it needs you - new settlers and long-term residents - to help uncover the wonderful stories of its people and amazing facts abounding throughout the City and its surrounding area.

Discover Milton Keynes is located on the outside of thecentre:mk facing Lloyds Court (next door to Currys and close to door 7), this new facility has been provided by a unique partnership between Milton Keynes Council, The Central Milton Keynes Partnerships and thecentre:mk. It is run by Living Archive, one of the City’s foremost agencies in creative, cultural and community development.

It will showcase what makes Milton Keynes special - special both to its citizens, and as a hugely expanding international centre planned to reach a population of 350,000 by 2031.

The Discover Milton Keynes base offers:

● Displays and Activities
● Trails and Tours
● Films and Photos
● Stories and Memories

Each month there will be a Showcase Theme.

Transport and Travel

Tramcars
For almost 40 years from 1887 Stony Stratford and Wolverton had the largest tramcars ever to run through the streets of Britain – at 44 ft long (14m), they were built to carry up to 100 passengers.


The Bloomer
‘A full-sized replica of the Bloomer has been renovated on site, to be re-sited in Wolverton as a lasting memorial to the skills and contribution of the Wolverton staff.’
