Easter Holiday Running!

Date
Wed, Apr 1 2026
Features

Enjoy sunny skies, spring sunshine and smiles with all the family- KIDS TRAVEL FOR A QUID!

This Easter, get outdoors and spend the day at Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre on 1st & 8th April, with our preserved DMU railcar departing from Ruddington Fields Station to Rushcliffe Halt on a 1-hour round trip through the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside. The DMU will depart at 11:00 and 13:00 on both dates, giving plenty of time to explore the Heritage Centre throughout the day.

Our Heritage Café will be open from 10 am-3:30 pm, serving hot and cold food and refreshments to keep you fuelled throughout the day, and the blossoming Rushcliffe Park located opposite the Heritage Centre is the perfect place to let the little ones have a run about in the Spring sunshine.
