A Day Out With Thomas gives families the opportunity to meet Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. The event will vary slightly between venues but attractions will usually include Thomas and several of his friends
such as Percy, Daisy, James and the Troublesome Trucks, who can be ridden as many times as visitors like. Sir Topham Hatt, the Fat Controller, will also be on hand to ensure the trains are on their best behaviour and he will be available for photos.
Your nearest Day Out With Thomas can either be found by checking the official Thomas the Tank Engine website or by looking at the schedule of events provided by your local railway museum. A list of venues which offer Days Out With Thomas weekends is also given below, but if your nearest working railway museum is not included it may still be worth checking their site as new venues are regularly added.
