The Railway Children

Until Sat 10 Aug View Venues, Dates & Times

The show is presented by Tethered Wits.

Edith Nesbitt’s famous tale, which remains best known from the 1971 film version, tells the gentle story of an Edwardian family whose life is unexpectedly turned upside-down. 
Days stretch endlessly for Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis in their new home of Three Chimneys, a house near a railway in a Yorkshire village. Mysteriously separated from their father, the children set about the business of carving out a new way of living for themselves, passing their time watching trains on the nearby line, waving to the passengers and enjoying the company of Albert Perks, the station porter.

The Tamworth show takes place outdoors in Tamworth Castle Grounds.
