Join us this weekend as we operate one of our heritage diesel locomotives hauling classic Mk 1 carriages, and experience the way rail travel used to be. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a nostalgic journey through the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.
Hop off the train at Swanwick Junction and explore our historical site, packed with things to see and do for all ages.
Discover the Victorian Railwayman’s Church, step back in time in the West Shed Experience, and explore the Road Transport Building, Stationary Power House & Golden Valley Light Railway. Younger visitors can let off steam in the kids’ play area, while families can enjoy a stroll around the Country Park.
Other buildings may also be open on the day, all subject to volunteer availability.
Deeley’s Tearooms at Swanwick Junction will also be open, serving a selection of hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice creams, and sandwiches — perfect for a relaxing break during your visit.
