The Lincolnshire Wolds Railway has ambtious plans to extend the line and can only do it with public help. It is good to know we can experience a railway adventure... read more and know at the same time that we are helping their fundraiisng and pay towards extending the line. £600 buys one length of rail. But every little helps.

Very enjoyable morning. Had breakfast first before the train ride, Volunteers very friendly and helpfuol. Very nostalgic for the older members of our party and fascinating for the younger ones. Can recommend a truly wonderful experience. I have heard of this railway before but never realized it was as good as this.

  Cheap and cheerful day out. My 11 and 14 year old loved riding on the steam train and with added entertainment for the teddy bears picnic day made a fun... read more filled few hours out. Family train tickets can be used as many times as you want throughout the day and dogs are even allowed on the train too (have quieter carriages for nervous dogs or children). Staff were amazing and did a fab job. Toilets and even a dog friendly cafe available too. Would thoroughly recommend this 🙂

  Wonderful trip and excellent service from the friendly staff. Definitely a hidden treasure. Really recommended. Thoughtful restoration and recreation of the bygone era of the steam train . Fun for... read more all ages.

  Credit to and a big shout out to the volunteers who attended the witches and wizards event; friendly and welcoming staff.

Well done to Marc, always a natural... read more entertainer; you tried your very best to entertain the audience when so many cancelled at the last minute.

Thank you so much. My children very much enjoy your plate spinning and choices of music to entertain and dance to.

We always enjoy the train rides and park.

  Lovely Party time on the train, staff excellent highly recommend and will certainly look for other events.

  Not quite what I was expecting. Cars were parked in very muddy clogged grass making it difficult to get parked. It all seemed a little chaotic when we got there.... read more Santa saw the children for all of a minute as he handed out plastic bags with the kids presents in, which weren’t wrapped (not a big issue, but would have been nicer wrapped). The toys itself were age appropriate which was good. I thought we would be on the train for around an hour but it was 10 minutes up the road. Parked for 10 minutes whilst elves set up entertainment and 10 minutes back. The entertainment was ok, but wasn’t what I was expecting from the adverts. I think if this wasn’t here it the experience would have been awful. They did make it fun for 10 minutes. We had travelled nearly two hours each way (150 miles) to come to see Santa for 1 minute between three kids and the only interaction with him was to pass their present. They didn’t get to talk to him. There was the option to go and see him in the grotto after we got back to the station but the queue was long and the train was waiting to go again with the next lot so we didn’t wait.
It really didn’t add to things when a little boy in the seats in front hadn’t got a present as it had been forgotten as the grandparent was kicking off (I understand the frustration) but it really spoilt the atmosphere for other guests as she kept complaining. Then the elf singer asked for feedback on trip advisor which set her off again.
It was ok, but wasn’t what I expected and I think my children would have preferred somewhere where we could talk to father Xmas for 5 minutes. I appreciate its voluntary workers and I appreciate their time, just think it needs a few tweaks
