Day Out With Thomas at the East Lancashire Railway is from Saturday 1 May to Monday 3 May 2027, about 40 minutes' drive from Timperley. £10 to £25, book ahead, best for younger children, partly indoors.
Thomas the Tank Engine, a real steam engine, pulls trains from Bury to Ramsbottom and back on the East Lancashire Railway, a ride of up to 45 minutes. At Bury there are live shows, the Troublesome Trucks and Sir Topham Hatt, and the ticket also covers the Bury Transport Museum a short walk away, with face painting, balloon modelling, small funfair rides for toddlers and colouring. Entry is timed, and quieter SEND-friendly sessions run on selected days.
