Childrens Summer Craft Activities
Summer Holiday Family Fun & Crafts at the GWSR
Bring the whole family to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway this summer for a day filled with creativity, adventure, and steam-powered fun.
Our theme this year is: Summer Holidays!
Throughout the second half of the school holidays, children can enjoy a variety of hands-on craft activities at Winchcombe Station, with something new to discover each week. From colouring and model-making to themed crafts inspired by our locomotives and heritage railway, there's plenty to keep young minds entertained.
Best of all, kids travel for just £1 all summer long, from 18th July through to 31st August, making this the perfect budget-friendly family day out.
Combine your visit with a relaxing journey through the Cotswold countryside on one of our historic steam trains. Enjoy the views, explore our stations, and make memories together along the line.
Ideal for families looking for a full day out, your ticket includes unlimited travel, access to all craft activities, and plenty of opportunities for children to learn, play, and get creative.
