About

A huge warm welcome for the return of our "Little Engineers' Day" with Chris Vine and this time its a special Halloween-themed storytelling event. Our Young Engineers will meet author Chris Vine at Ravenglass station and experience a railway adventure of their own 'behind the scenes'. We will be visiting our engineering workshop to piece together how a steam engine operates, taking turns to pull the levers in the signal box and enjoy a train trip up the sidings. Early afternoon, we will be moving over to the museum for some pumpkin crafts and story time about 'The Ghost Train' where the children can light their pumpkin lanterns and place on the little train going around the museum. Afterwards, everyone can head up the line on an adventure of their own.

What's included:
Signed 'Peter's Railway' book for each child.
Full line return railway ticket on the day for all participants.
All activities hosted by the Chris Vine and the museum.

Times
Event starts at 10am – finishes approx. 13.30. Participants have the afternoon free to travel up the line as part of the special event ticket. Train departs Ravenglass at 13.50 returning at 15.10. Extra tickets can be purchased on request for the afternoon railway journey, subject to availability.
