Have you ever wanted to drive a steam engine? Now you can!

NEW: TASTER SESSIONS £95

Why not try our new taster sessions, which allow you to experience first hand how amazing these locomotives really are! Spend an hour on the footplate with our friendly crew, who will guide you through the workings of a steam locomotive, giving you the opportunity to try your hand at driving and firing!

GOLD DRIVING EXPERIENCE £495

If you fancy something more hands on, why not try our Gold Driving Experience! This is an intensive experience which will give you an up close and personal look at how the engine comes to life! Arriving at 6:00am, you will help to light up and prep the loco, learning about how this amazing piece of history works! After all that prep work, enjoy a breakfast bap before taking your place on the footplate to enjoy an hour firing and an hour driving! You will finish at 1pm with lunch in our cafe!
