GRANDPARENTS GO HALF PRICE AT GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY THIS APRIL

The Best Day Out in Leicestershire, the award winning Great Central Railway, is inviting Grandparents, grandchildren and families to enjoy a unique and affordable experience this spring with a special half price Grandparents Weekend on 18th and 19th April.

Recognised as the Best Day Out in Leicestershire at the 2025 Leicestershire Promotions Tourism and Hospitality Awards, the Great Central Railway is offering half-price tickets for grandparents and £1 travel for children, making it one of the best value family days out in the Midlands this April.

Perfect for multi-generational visits, the event gives families the chance to spend quality time together while enjoying a full day out packed with activities, food, and unlimited train travel.

Visitors can explore fully restored heritage stations, ride on both steam and diesel trains, and experience a working railway environment that brings history to life in an engaging and accessible way.

One of the key highlights of the weekend is the behind-the-scenes locomotive shed tours, led by the Boscastle Team. These tours give visitors exclusive access to areas not usually open to the public and provide insight into how historic trains are maintained and operated.

Across the railway, guests can enjoy a range of food and drink options, including cafés, tea rooms, and the popular 1960s-style Griddle and Buffet Car dining experience, helping families turn their visit into a full day out.

As the Best Day Out in Leicestershire, the Great Central Railway continues to attract visitors from across the region and beyond, offering a combination of entertainment, education, and hands-on experiences for all ages.

Tickets start from just £12 and include unlimited travel throughout the day. To access the offer, visitors can use the code GRANDPARENTS50 when booking online.
