You can have a go on our passenger steam train service: Furness Railway 20 will be in steam (a small charge applies). New this year, we're working in partnership with Hackworth Park Centenary Celebrations on Saturday 22 September. There will be a variety of family activities available at the park, plus at Locomotion you can try out activities such as sampler stitching, dressing-up and traditional toys such as yo-yos, diablos and hoops.
