NEWLY EXTENDED: Local
Resident Annual Family Pass
Now for residents within 8 miles of us
Only £32 for a whole year!
Do you live within an 8-mile
radius of us? (Click here to check!) We are now offering our Local Resident Annual Family Pass to those within 8 miles of us (as the crow flies), for a one-off payment of just £32 per family for a whole year! It is
aimed at local people who might benefit from coming to us more often for shorter visits, when paying the full entrance fee every time is unjustified. With our local pass you can come along whenever
you like (check our online calendar first to check we are open!), enjoy the museum,
have a coffee, let the kids loose on the Thomas Tables, spend some time in our new second-hand book shop - stay for an hour or come
for a whole day – as many times as you like!
The Local Resident Annual Family
Pass is for two adults and up to four children. It is valid for all of our
Steaming Days, and for our quieter ‘Static Days’, and for most of our special
events! What’s more – if you bring any extra guests with you, they will get in
for half price! The only times it isn’t valid for is our Thomas Days &
Christmas, and for the occasional privately organised event. Please check our website for our opening days/hours.
Come and enjoy your local heritage railway centre
as often as you like! Click here for an application form and click here to see the 8-mile radius map and a non-exhaustive list of villages included...
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Teddy's Train Ride
Sunday 27th & Bank Holiday Monday 28th May 2018
Due to the success of this event last year, we will hold the same event again in 2018 over two days of the late May bank holiday weekend. The event when children with a teddy get in for free, and Teddy gets his own train ticket and train ride!
Extra Displays!
On both days we will have displays to add a little bit of vintage to your day out!
On the Sunday we will be visited by the Veteran-Cycle Club with a bonanza of historic bicycles and tricycles. Come and discover why the Penny Farthing had such a large wheel!
On Bank Holiday Monday we will be joined by a selection of vintage buses for our Annual Bus Rally!
Stunning locomotive 'Cornwall' is on display in our Visitor Centre!
'Cornwall' is on display, pride of place inside our Visitor Centre for all to admire (see main photo above!)
Cornwall is here to take the place of Castle Class 4-6-0 No. 5080 Defiant, due to its return to Tysley for proposed overhaul to mainline standards. LNWR 2-2-2 tender loco No. 3020 ‘Cornwall’ has come to Quainton on loan from The National Railway Museum. Built in 1847, ‘Cornwall’ is being displayed alongside two LNWR liveried carriages and has taken pride of place in our stunning ‘Rewley Road’ Visitor Centre. Rather appropriately, the building was also built by LNWR in the centre of Oxford, before being relocated to the Quainton site. ‘Cornwall’ will hopefully be with us for approximately two years. We are thrilled to welcome such a stunning locomotive to our collection.
