Paddington Character Visit

Take an exciting heritage train ride out into the countryside to see Paddington™ and listen to tales of his adventures during story time at regular intervals throughout the day at The Engine House Visitor Centre, Highley.

Pre-book a train ticket and travel from either Kidderminster or Bridgnorth. On arrival at Highley, for The Engine House, you can see Paddington™ during pre-booked story time sessions, before exploring the interactive exhibits and the outdoor play area. There will also be other family activities throughout the day for everyone to enjoy – all included in your ticket price!

What’s at The Engine House? The Engine House is a short walk from Highley Station, and it’s where you can get up-close-and-personal with some very special locomotives. Check out the impressive blue-liveried LMR 600 ‘Gordon’, as well as LMS Stanier 8F 48773, which had a famous encounter with a camel in World War II, and many more full-size, out-of-service engines. There’s a cafe, gift shop, play area and toilets, as well as mini-golf and magic shows throughout the day. If the weather’s nice, you can enjoy a walk down to the river or up into the Severn Valley Country Park.
