Celebrate the 200th anniversary of modern railways at Statfold Country Park Staffordshire

“It’s the 200th anniversary of modern railways and to celebrate Statfold Country Park are offering some great educational visits – with some brilliant perks and free return visits for your pupils!

On 27th September 1825, George Stephenson’s steam powered Locomotion No 1 transported hundreds of passengers In Britain for 26 miles, marking the start of a journey that would shape the modern world. Join us at Statfold Country Park to celebrate Railway 200, the 200th anniversary of modern railways.

Statfold Country Park is a working Steam Railway Museum set in 1000 acres of stunning Staffordshire countryside.

We are a fully accessible site that offers fantastic support for any Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our interactive workshop sessions are tailored to cover national curriculum topics and are led by a dedicated teaching team that will ensure learning is blended with fun!
