- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 04 Aug, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: No Wifi. No Xbox. And water from a well?! This summer is definitely ruined!

Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis (Phil to you and me) have been swept off to the remote countryside by their mother, who won’t tell them why!

Left to explore their new home, it’s not long before they feel the pull of the railway at the bottom of the garden. As they follow the tracks to the local station, a whole world opens up for them, full of charming characters, romance, peril and questions that need answering.

What to get Mr. Perks for his birthday when you can’t afford sweets?
Why is the 08.11 always late?
Who is stealing from the coal-yard at nighttime?
And where has father gone, anyway?

Fresh from their 2025 tour of The Wind in the Willows (“fun, funny and utterly charming”) and The Wizard of Oz (“utterly entrancing. A great mix of charm and sophisticated wit”), Paperback Theatre returns to tour the UK with a brand-new adaptation of E. Nesbit’s The Railway Children by Charis McRoberts.

Some audience comments:

“Absolutely brilliant! Love seeing small theatre companies do big things! The kids clearly loved it too!”

“Excellent show. Funny, silly and creative.”

“Brilliant, funny, wholesome and great twists on classics. Exactly what live theatre should be about!”

“A touching and life-affirming retelling of a classic.”

Please dress for the great British weather, as this performance will go ahead unless conditions are deemed dangerous. Bring blankets or chairs to sit on.
Hot and cold drinks and ice creams will be on sale before the show.
The car park will not open until 1.45pm.
Sorry, no picnics or dogs (except assistance dogs).
