Bredgar Railway - a GREAT day out for all - as well as saving engineering heritage
Easter break diesel trains - more than just a train ride. Trains running Wednesday to Friday from 11am to 2pm. No prior booking is required (or possible!) just turn up - park for FREE. Buy a ticket in the ticket office and grab a coffee in the tearoom before the next train. This week, 15th to 17th April, we expect to be visited by a giant Easter bunny. He was here last week.
You will also be able to get your face painted and visit Bob to get your hands on steel balls doing all sorts of wondrous things. An Easter bunny hunt is included and all other activities are included during your visit. Train rides are £4 for adults and £3 for children over 2 years old.
The train ride is about 10 minutes but with all the activities it will keep the little ones occupied for a great deal longer than that.
To see our other upcoming events go to the ticket office or check out the Event Days menu above.
Next full event day : bluebells in the wood - by Steam
Check out the Young Engineers Experience day.
This is on 30th May but bookings close on 1st May and this has very limited tickets. This is a very rare opportunity for youngsters to get on the footplate of a live steam locomotive and learn how our engineering happens. This will be a great experience for parents and children - Curiosity is KING on this day.

Tickets now available for our Off the Rails music festival on 25th July

At present we are working hard to get Garforth Station Footbridge restored and erected on site. At 130 years old we think it deserves to be saved as an example of our rail and engineering heritage. Can you help - and be here for the opening. Be on the first train under the restored bridge. Get a Founders ticket by Donation - details here
