Paddington™ to visit the Severn Valley Railway in February

Families can take an exciting heritage train ride out to The Engine House, Highley, see Paddington™ and listen to tales of his adventures at regular intervals throughout the day.

Lewis Maddox, visitor engagement manager said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Paddington™ to the Severn Valley Railway. This much-loved character is a firm favourite with families of all ages.

“We’re offering the opportunity for parents and grandparents to create special memories with their young ones as they travel on board a heritage train to The Engine House, Highley. Paddington™ will be appearing during their pre-booked story time session. Don’t forget your camera as this is going to be an amazing photo opportunity.”

Visitors can pre-book train tickets and make their journey from either Kidderminster or Bridgnorth. Tickets include reserved seats on a heritage train and timed entry tickets to see Paddington™ at The Engine House, Highley. Families can travel back on a train of their choice, with unreserved seating.

As well as seeing Paddington™ at The Engine House, there are plenty of other fun activities to keep everyone entertained. Children can let off steam in the outdoor play area or get hands-on sorting mail in the travelling post office. There will also be additional family activities throughout the day for everyone to enjoy.
