The Ribble Steam Railway runs around Preston's docklands area

The Ribble Steam Railway on Preston’s Docklands is staging its third event of the year over the weekend June 20th & 21st 2009.

As its Father’s Day, why not treat him and all the family to a Steam Train Ride on the Ribble Steam Railway, a journey alonside the River Ribble which crosses the Docklands Swingbridge over the Preston Marina.

As a bonus this weekend there will be Vintage Cars & Classic Bikes on show and you can talk to their owners about each machine. There will be different vehicles each day and as a bonus there is no increase on the normal admission rates of £5-50 Adults, £3-50 Children with a Family Ticket & Concession rates available as well.

Mr Ribble, from the Preston Hands-On Gang invites all the kids to join his Adventure Trail around the museum and learn about various aspects of Railways & Engines and to get your free Mr Ribble badges.

There is a shop and cafe on site and the workshops are open so you can find out what the volunteers are working on behind the scenes.
