The Historic Dockyard Railway will be operating, running demonstration freight train, by either steam and / or diesel locomotives this weekend.

Throughout this year’s Summer Holidays (26th July – 29th August), we will be staging a pirate extravaganza for families. Young visitors will be able to enjoy the delights of the specially created ‘Pirates’ Play Place’, with stimulating creative activities, family learning opportunities, story-telling, puppet shows, and costumed characters – including Captain Flint, the mischievous parrot who is always on the look out for treasure to steal!
