Experience the captivating story of how railways transformed industry and society, told through ‘Brunel in Petticoats,’ not forgetting our very own Mr. Stephenson!

There’s free parking, a lovely picnic field on site with a play area, and our 7 1/4 inch sit on train is back that children just love to ride!  So, pack a picnic, relax to live jazz, and take a ride on our fun historic ‘Rocket’ train!
