Visitors will be able to immerse themselves into the Edwardian setting with a steam train ride at Helston Railway from Wednesday, August 14, to Sunday, August 18.

Going from Prospidnick and passing Truthall Halt, passengers will then venture into the nearby event marquee to watch Mike Kenny's play version of Edith Nesbit's beloved novel - The Railway Children.

Popularised by the 1970 film starring Jenny Agutter, this theatrical experience is one for all the family.

Helston Theatre Company's outdoor production, in the perfect setting of Helston Railway, aims to transport visitors to a bygone era, where steam engines puff through the countryside.

Childhood innocence thrives amid adversity and with a blend of humour, suspense, and touching moments.

Drinks and snacks will be available at Prospidnick from the Railway Buffet, with limited refreshments once at Truthall Halt; you can bring your own food and drink too.
