Teddy Bear Picnic Weekend at Ribble Steam Railway

If you go down to the railway, you're in for a very special day.  Join a fun-filled teddy bears' picnic, where families are invited to bring their favourite teddy along for a full day of steam, play, and picnic adventures.

What's included.  Your all-day ticket gives you access to:
Unlimited steam train rides throughout the day.
Entry to the museum and play areas.
A beautifully decorated site filled with teddy bears everywhere for you to find.

This is a relaxed, family-friendly day designed for children (and grown-ups) to explore, play, and enjoy the magic of the railway, alongside their cuddly companions. A proper picnic day.  Make a day of it with your teddy by your side:  Bring your own picnic and enjoy it on the train or on the platform.  Or treat yourself to one of the special teddy picnic lunch boxes, freshly prepared in Alison´s Tea Room, perfect for enjoying wherever you choose.  You might even spot a few teddy bears already having their own picnic around the railway.

Activities and fun.  There's plenty to keep little ones entertained throughout the day:
Teddy Bear Trail.  Follow the clues and find them all.
Arts and crafts.  Create your own teddy-themed masterpieces.
Photo opportunities.  A themed photo area packed with teddy bears, creating the perfect backdrop for memorable family photos or save the memory of the day with your teddy.
Teddy Bear Raffle.  Win a giant new friend.

Make memories.  This event is all about creating moments:  Take photos with your teddy around the railway.  Join in fun group moments and themed displays.  Let your children enjoy a world filled with imagination and play.  Teddy travels free because every bear deserves a day out.

Food and facilities.  The café and shop will be open throughout the day.  Drinks, snacks, and sweet treats available.  Indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a relaxed picnic atmosphere.
