Railway 200 Exhibition at Swanage Railway
Step aboard history as the Railway 200 ‘Inspiration’ Exhibition Train visits the Swanage Railway this February. Located at Corfe Castle station from Monday 16 to Wednesday 18 February 2026 (10am–4pm), this free, family-friendly exhibition celebrates 200 years of Britain’s railways.
Inside the interactive exhibition train you’ll find hands-on displays, railway firsts, engineering challenges and stories from the past, present and future of rail travel — perfect for all ages.
Entry to the exhibition is free with a valid Swanage Railway train ticket. Visitors are encouraged to travel by train, with special heritage diesel railbus services from Norden and steam trains running between Swanage, Corfe Castle and Norden throughout the event.
A must-see half-term attraction for families, railway enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
