Visit websiteA lovely day out, everyone is so friendly.
We visited over the summer with our two young boys and had the best afternoon. We all rode the miniature trains, had some lovely cake and tea, and met lots of very friendly volunteers. Last night we returned for the bonfire and fireworks event and it was brilliant. We got there early and barely had to queue for any of the train rides or for the food. The train rides were great and the food (hotdogs/burgers/baked potatoes) were lovely. The bonfire was huge and kept us warm and the fireworks were incredible - the best we’ve seen in a very long time. The whole place isn’t too big so it didn’t feel too busy or overwhelming which is a bonus when you’ve got young children. A true hidden gem, especially considering it’s volunteer run! We’ve already booked our tickets for the Christmas event and can’t wait to return.
Lovely place, very friendly and helpful people who have a passion for trains. Lots of people enjoying rides, also has a small cafe on site whereyou can purchase hot or cold drinks, cakes and crisps. Very family orientated, parking is available and caters for wheelchair access. Well worth a visit.
Amazing with our Brownies and Rainbows 🌈 Fantastic time had by all. Good facilities and felt very safe for our users. Thank you for all your efforts 👌
My 3 year old boy adores this place. Riding mini trains, watching model trains running and having a bacon sandwich. The real cherry on top is how friendly all of the volunteer staff are. After our first visit, he kept asking to go back, so I told him he has to save up some money for the donation box. For a solid week he collected coins from us and his grandparents, not putting a single any of it towards treats. He had a little over £5 in the end so we had to go back and he put all of it in the donation box. He loves this place that much :-)
