We are delighted to announce that, in the second round of awards in the UK’s Government Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage, we have been awarded a grant of £250,700.  This funding will help us to recover from our prolonged period of closure and help us to prepare for re-opening in the third step of the Government Covid roadmap.  Together with other measures are are taking, including our 60^th Anniversary Appeal, this grant will safeguard our future and ensure that our people – most of whom are volunteers – will continue to be able to run steam trains for the enjoyment and education of visitors young and young-at-heart.
