Calling all young train lovers and steam enthusiasts!

Join our team at Luxulyan Village Hall to jump on board for an exciting journey through Cornwall’s industrial past, present and future.

Location: Luxulyan Village Hall, St Cyriac, Luxulyan, Bodmin PL30 5QA – What3Words: ///leaky.corner.rank

Price: £8 per child. 

This February, we’re offering the chance for those aged 8 – 14 to follow in the footsteps of Richard Trevithick to discover the pioneering Cornish inventors and engineering brilliance which fuelled the ‘Age of Steam’. 

You’ll investigate the science behind steam locomotives through exploring models and an experiment to help demonstrate how steam engines are powered, before learning more about the huge impact that the development of the railway has had on Cornwall.

The workshop will be rounded off with a choice of creative challenges, including designing a commemorative railway stamp, writing a short story inspired by steam travel or designing a train for the future. 

This workshop has been funded by GWR, and we are hugely grateful for its support.

This event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust.
