The Gruffalo Visits! (Tyne & Wear)

On Sunday 8th June, Fox & Edwards Events will be joined by The Gruffalo™ at Tanfield Railway, bringing lots of fun and excitement. There will be steam train trips and the chance to see The Gruffalo at intervals.

Start your visit at Andrews House station (NE16 5ET) where there is large free car parking. Pick up your free story book for every child here. Our vintage steam train will be waiting to welcome you for a journey of approximately 45 to 50 minutes. This relaxed journey is approximately six miles in total. There is a pause at a middle station for toilet visits and snacks/drink.

Every child and infant will receive a gingerbread train biscuit and juice carton, too!

When we return, head to the museum building where The Gruffalo will be waiting for friendly waves and to see fans like you. Don’t forget to bring your camera to get some snaps!
