Annual Gala and Young Engineers Workshop

The Gala is the annual celebration of locomotives, with as many steam and diesel locos out in service as possible! A fabulous opportunity to see your favourite loco in action, have a ride (or many) on the trains and a chance for some great photographs with lots going on.

The Engine Shed and museum will be open displaying the collection of vintage tractors, locos not in ticket and those undergoing restoration work, engines and cars as well as the hugely popular model railway.

For the kids there's a treasure hunt plus a garden games area, in addition to the colouring station and unlimited train and tractor rides all day!
