The Bucks Railway Centre - Quainton - Days out with Thomas The Tank Engine

Thomas, Percy, Rusty & Dusty and The Fat Controller are now at Quainton for the Easter weekend!

Pre-booking has now closed, however tickets are still available for all four days which you can purchase on the gate on the day.

Good Friday and Easter Saturday are both very busy already, so although the centre says they are unlikely to turn anyone away on these days (the centre cannot 100% guarantee this - it depends how busy it gets) they would recommend coming on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday instead as both of these days are currently half as busy.

The Bucks County Museum - Easter In the Stuart Household - Sunday 11am and Monday 10am - entry by donation.

Help the Stuart Household celebrate Easter in the early 1600’s when James 1 is about to become King of England – help the household members and their servants prepare the household and get ready for their Feast.

The Master of the house – Thomas Heywood, merchant of the town, will be trying to reconcile both his business and household accounts – Easter brings many of its own expenses, especially after 6 weeks of Lenten fast: his wife and housekeeper have been busy ordering all the meat and dairy provisions – visitors can help Master Heywood keep his accounts up to date. Ask about the quarter days when quarterly wages are paid….and rents are due!
