There’ll be plenty of family fun at the Severn Valley Railway, with appearances from the much-loved character Paddington on Tuesday 17 to Thursday 19 February 2026.
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.
