We went for 'Thomas Day Out and Meeting Father Christmas'. It was an excellent organisation. We made a short trip on Thomas Train and met Santa. He accepted separately every child and gave them presents. There was also shaped ballon as a surprise. And even the Fat Controller was there! The staff was very kind. My child was very happy.

Thank you for your feedback. The engines look so much more impressive from ground level, don't they.

Likes: you get to walk around and see both the workshop and the engines and carriages. Dislikes: little track; so no rides

The centre had lots of trains and other bits of railway ephemera to see and despite the torrential rain and the later snow it was fun for our 2 year olds. They only appear to have a small length of track...

Thnak you for your feedback. The weather was awful, wasn't it and I'm pleased it didn't spoil your day.
For our March and October 'Days Out With Thomas' events it is not essential to book in advance and visitors can pay on the day. Many visitors prefer to buy online with TicketWeb. However, we do sell tickets in advance from...
