Model Railway Weekend

Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 January 2026 | 10:30-16:30 | Free | No booking required

Continuing the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, The Story is hosting its first ever Railway Weekend. Across both Saturday and Sunday, visitors can explore up to ten model layouts displayed throughout the building, each with a connection to the North East.

It will also be the final chance to experience our temporary rail‑inspired exhibition, All Change! before it closes in the spring.

Adding to the atmosphere, the Auckland Sea Shanties will be performing throughout the day. Don’t miss Along the Rails: Coal, Rail, Sail on Sunday 25, running from 10:30 to 15:00.
