Home Educator Sessions

Children can enjoy 2 different educational sessions at the railway this May.

All Aboard Home Educator Session: 

10.30am - 12 noon

In this workshop, children will explore our museum to hunt for different characters who work on the railway before taking on the role of some of these people and passengers who travelled on the railway in an interactive story-telling session. They will then decorate a train or one of its carriages and create their own railway worker or passenger to ride on this train. Before finishing off with an interactive game to understand the role of a signalman and some of the signals used.

This session is aimed at Early Years children from age 4 to 6. We ask that parents are responsible for children on their visits and accompany the children on the visit.

We suggest that younger siblings aren’t in attendance, except for babes in arms. This is due to room capacity.
