Fathers Day Flyer

Here at the railway, we are still feeling great about the successful Father's Day event on Sunday 19 June. There were lots of people visiting, the sun shone, and everyone had a great time riding the trains, and eating cake and ice cream.

We have been sent the following photographs from the day by Kirsty Robinson, which are so brilliant that we wanted to share them with you as well.  I think you'll agree that they all had a great time.

Kirsty and co were here for the Father's Day Flyer experience, where Dads enjoyed a ride on the footplate of our steam engine 'Rocket', plus a two-course meal and unlimited travel for the whole family.  

It was lovely that so many people chose to share their Father's Day with us this year.

Feedback from our visitors has been very positive 

"The Father's Day Flyer was a brilliant day out for me, my Dad and my Father in Law. The Kids really enjoyed their trip in the brake van too. Many thanks for opening up the shed so I could show the children 'TOM'.....A great team of friendly volunteers who couldn't go out of their way enough to make it a great day."

"Thank you for a fantastic day today and all of those who worked through Father's Day. The 'Dads' had a great time and the children loved it too. We got lots of lovely pictures to remember the day too."


If you missed out this time, don't worry, because we will do it all again in 2023. Look out for details of next year's events when they are published on our website.
