Bust my buffers! Enjoy a extra special day out as Thomas the Tank Engine pulls into Chappel station….
Calling all little engineers! Join Thomas, the number one blue engine, as he visits the East Anglian Railway Museum for a day of family fun. The Fat Controller will be on hand to make sure that Thomas is being a really useful engine whilst Rusty and Dusty, Sodor’s Station Sweepers, will be causing mischief.
Day Out With Thomas is an event the whole family can enjoy. Take a train ride behind Thomas and his friends, Daisy, Percy and Toad will all be here. Complete your Passport To Adventures and Junior Engineer Certificate, watch re-enactments of classic Thomas stories and much more. A real family day out, voted a hit by visitors young and old.
Please be aware that these days may sell out in advance so we recommend you buy your tickets online in advance, available up until the day before the event at a reduced rate.
