The Story Train Day

The Story Train comes to Locomotion!

The Story Train is a new creative arts carriage stationed at Stanhope Station, on the Weardale Railway. While the coach is currently residing in Stanhope, the concept of ‘The Story Train’ will pop-up at Locomotion Museum in Shildon on Friday 24th March 1-4pm.

The Story Train Day at Locomotion is a series of interactive creative experiences among the trains, old and new. You’ll encounter The Drama Train, The Music Train, The Poetry Train, The Sketching Train & The Listening Train with a host of artists sharing their creative skills and inviting you to have a go. There will also be exhibitions from local heritage and community groups.
