🚂 Kids Go For £1: Summer Steaming Days 2025


Time: 10:30 - 17:00

🧒 Kids go for £1 throughout the 2025 summer holidays at our Steaming Days!

We have had some great feedback from doing this the last two years, as most places seem to be putting their prices up, so we thought we'd do it again this summer.

🗓 2025 DATES
July 30th and August 3rd, 6th, 13th, 17th, 20th, 27th and 31st...

Summer holiday Steaming Days are generally held on Wednesdays and Sundays from 30th July to 31st August 2025. There are only a couple of dates not included and that is because they are special event days.

🚂 WHAT IS A STEAMING DAY?
Come and enjoy steam train rides, watch the model trains, ride the miniature railway, visit our huge Railway Museum and stunning Visitor Centre, plus you can see inside the Travelling Post Office carriages. There are 25 acres to explore! We also have a lovely café, gift shop and secondhand book shop. There's so much to see and do for a First Class day out with the kids this summer!

ℹ️ BOOKING DETAILS
