This Weekend : steam trains, spectacular LEGO® displays at the Spa Valley Railway

Visit the Spa Valley Railway in Tunbridge Wells to combine steam-train travel with imaginative LEGO® displays.

Both train travel and entry to the Model Bricks Galore exhibition are FREE for children aged 15 and under when accompanied by a paying adult.

The event combines a heritage train journey through the High Weald with an exhibition of imaginative model brick creations.

Taking place inside the historic Engine Shed at Tunbridge Wells West, the event will bring together a wide range of displays created by talented Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs), including moving railway scenes, detailed locomotives, aircraft, vehicles, cityscapes and original creations designed to inspire visitors of all ages.

Visitors can combine time at the exhibition with a journey through the High Weald countryside aboard the railway’s heritage trains.

Services will operate to the railway’s Green Timetable, offering up to five return journeys during the day and giving visitors time to explore all four Spa Valley Railway stations: Tunbridge Wells West, Groombridge, High Rocks and Eridge.

Younger visitors can also take part in a LEGO® Minifigure Hunt, searching the exhibition for hidden letters to solve a railway-themed mystery word. Completed entries will be entered into a draw to win a Family Travel Ticket for use on a standard operating day during 2027.

General Manager Jonnie Pay said: “Model Bricks Galore is a brilliant October half-term day out, bringing together two much-loved family activities: inspiring model brick displays and a journey on a heritage railway. It is a memorable way to spend time together this weekend.”

Ticket prices include Adult £18.00 and Senior (60+) £17.00. Both train travel and entry to the Model Bricks Galore exhibition are FREE for children aged 15 and under when accompanied by a paying adult.

A Family Ticket for 2 adults and 2 children costs £36.00. Exhibition-only admission is £5.00 for adults; admission is FREE for children aged 15 and under when accompanied by a paying adult.
