Summer of Discovery

Kick-start the school holidays with an unforgettable family day out as the Great Central Railway launches its Summer of Discovery with a special Summer Fun Weekend.With children travelling for just £1 (up to three children with every full-paying adult throughout the summer holidays), there’s never been a better time to experience Britain’s only double track, main line heritage railway.Travel behind magnificent steam and heritage diesel locomotives, enjoy unlimited train travel and discover family entertainment taking place across all four stations.Whether you’re travelling behind a steam locomotive, exploring our beautifully preserved stations or taking part in our Summer of Discovery activities, there’s something for every generation to enjoy.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard this summer!
