I have been going to this railway with my son for most of his 14 years. The railway is independent of the garden centre unlike some others nearby. It has a big oval track, which goes under tunnels.I also has a children's play area which has its own stop which people can get off to play with their children, and can be hired for parties as we have done in the past. It runs every weekend and some weekdays as well. Generally a diesel locomotive or 2 in operation on weekdays and saturdays. And usually a steam engine in operation on sundays. They often have special events. The Christmas decorations are stunning, with a nativity scene, loads of lights. And you can pay extra to get a Santa train to see Santa. Also other special events at other times of the year. They have a shop which sells second hand toys which have been donated. All money goes back into the railway to maintain and develop it. If you are a regular visitor it is worth getting a 10 ride ticket for £8 which saves a little money for regular visitors. It is run by a very committed team of volunteers. A amazing place.

As a regular annual attendee to the Carver for the January Pantomime I just wanted to ensure that there was a current review on Trip Advisor. The Carver is a really splendid local facility, small and compact with comfortable seats and a good sound system. Just idea for creating an excellent atmosphere for the Panto. I'm fairly sure it was completely sold out this year, so get in early with your ticket requests for next year. As for the latest production The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I feel it was the best yet, even if I was singled out by Dame Betty (yes, I am THAT 'Jeffrey' from the first night). Anyway, as a grandparent to one of your stars of the show it's very moving to have watched, previously nervous children, mature into confident young actors and actresses, over just a very short period. So the dedication of the Production team and all the help behind the scenes really shines through. It was obvious that the cast were loving the performance throughout and it's fair to say that 100% of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the show too. A just reward for all the long hours of very hard work and rehearsals, and good to see a few more boys involved this year. Very well done to all of the team and cast and wishing you all well on the last night. Looking forward to the next production!
