A station is welcoming the return of its children's event after recent anniversary celebrations.

The East Anglian Railway Museum marked the 175th anniversary of the Marks Tey to Sudbury line and the Chappel Viaduct with an exhibition of 64 paintings of the viaduct by artist Wladyslaw Mirecki.

The exhibition remains on display until August 18.

However, anticipation is now growing for the upcoming ‘Days Out with Thomas and Friends,’ set for the August Bank Holiday weekend from August 24 to August 26.

The event will replicate the Easter festivities, which sold-out rapidly.

Tickets should ideally be bought in advance: £17 for adults, £14 for ages two to 17, free for under twos, with various family tickets available.

In addition to Diesel Days on Wednesdays during school holidays and Steam Days on Sundays throughout August, there’s the forthcoming Chappel Beer Festival from September 3 to September 7.

October 6 sees the Small Trains and Model Railway Day.

Thomas and his friends will return on October 26 and 27 and during the two weekends preceding Christmas.
