DINOSAURS AT THE BLUEBELL RAILWAY!

We are looking forward to welcoming Bronwen The Brontosaurus, Loki The Velociraptor and more of their dinosaur friends to The Bluebell Railway on April 1st & 2nd. It’s not an April Fools and they are spectacular to see in person!
You might even see some baby dinosaurs on the trains so keep a look out at our other stations too throughout that weekend!
The dinosaurs will be at the railway during our “Kids For A Quid” travel offer over that weekend, so why not mix the power of steam and dinosaurs at The Bluebell Railway and come meet Bronwen, Loki and others in person!
APRIL 1ST AND 2ND & AUGUST 1st & 2nd
MOBILE FARM

We’re delighted to welcome the team from South Brockwells Farm to The Bluebell Railway as they bring all the magic and fun of the farm to the railway between April 7th and 9th at Kingscote station!
Come and see all the animals at Kingscote when you travel on our railway and explore the wonderful surroundings of the station. This event is free with your travel tickets (a donation is required to pet the animals) and the “Kids For A Quid” travel offer will be in place the weekend the farm visits us!
