Alongside the signal box experience, children and families can enjoy:
Guided tours of the heritage centre and its exhibits
Displays that tell the story of Brading’s railway and local history
Hands-on activities and games designed to educate and entertain
Opportunities to meet our friendly volunteers and ask questions about railway life
