Description

All aboard for an enchanting journey into a world of steam trains, adventure and courage.

When siblings Roberta, Peter and Phyllis are whisked away from London to a small house beside the railway in rural Derbyshire, their uncertain new beginning becomes a moving journey of friendship and discovery. 

Packed with unforgettable characters, moments of fun and acts of kindness, this enduring story has captivated generations. Themes of family, friends, community and the belief that even in the hardest of times brighter days are possible are woven through this joyful and uplifting tale. 

This Olivier Award-winning adaptation of E. Nesbit’s beloved classic brings the story to life with imaginative staging, music and storytelling. The Railway Children is a winter treat to enjoy together – and treasure long after the final whistle blows.
