Wolds Railway Experience

  We came for the Teddy Bear day. The station had so many little bears on it and the train ride was so much fun. Thank you to Marc the fox.... read more Very good value for money too. We'll definitely be back ️

  We absolutely loved this!! Wish is was nearer to home. Great to support something run by many happy, friendly, cheery staff/volunteers. All of whom have knowledge of the rail line.... read more

We arrived early at the free car park over the road from the station, drawn into the steaming kettle by the smell of bacon cooking.
Children thought the cafe was a great idea to recycle train carriages.
The actual train ride was more than we expected, choose where you sit, have a short time to wonder the next station and return back. Lots of reminiscing happened.

We had a look round the model railway, had a go on the tombola and look round lots of cheap treasures to buy.
If ever in the area we would definitely have another visit and recommend to others.

  I didn't know what to expect really apart from recent reviews, although my 2 young grandaughters enjoyed it and the volunteers are very good, for £15 each I think could... read more be better. Presents ok not expensive but they are just put in this rather big green plastic bag unwrapped! Also I paid £15 each for a 12 and 13 year old girl and they received not even the pen! Website mentioned stationary sets for older kids. Wont be travelling out to it next year will try one of the others. Expected at least some cookies or Santa bell for my nearly 3 and 5 year old.

  What a fantastic steam railway this is. I have two small boys who are train obsessed and they loved it. I would also like to mention how lovely the people... read more who work here are. Everyone we met was polite and helpful, even helping us on and off with our pram. Thank you so much for a brilliant day, we will be coming back soon.

  As a family we have visited the railway on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. We visited over the bank holiday weekend, which was a Super Hero's event.... read more There were lots of families enjoying the day with many children and adults dressed as Batman, Super girl etc. One volunteer guard dressed as Superman, did a superb job of entertaining the children as the train travelled from Ludborough to North Thoresby and back. On the platform at North Thoresby, Superman and another guard led dances on the platform and many of the children and adults joined in. Parking is free and there are good toilet facilities on the station and while the cafe on the stationery buffet car was currently out of action, there was a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks, crisps and biscuits. Food could be eaten in the buffet car. It is very much small scale but never the less, the volunteers make it a great experience and it is well worth a visit.

  We took Rainbows and Brownies on the Santa’s special today and it was fantastic.
Would highly recommend taking your children it was enjoyed by all young and old!
Would like... read more to give a big shout out to Elf Marc who was fantastic with the kids they where buzzing by the time the big man himself came xx 48 of us altogether
