What visitors say

Charmaine Gunter-Clark

No matter your age; there's a child in all of us - delighted at the prospect of travelling on steam trains! I took my friend Geoff to see Pulborough Garden Centre and he was so excited. The staff kindly showed us where they maintain the trains. Yay! Afterwards we had a thick bacon butty in the garden café. A lovely time indeed.

What a great find, was looking for something to do with my 3 year old grandson and stumbled across this gem. We thought it would only be a short quick ride on a miniature railway as it is set up at a garden centre, how wrong were we. The volunteers that run it are so friendly and enthusiastic they help make the day special. The day we went they had more than one train running, the trains go up hills across bridges and through tunnels. My grandson absolutely had the day of his life ( so did we to be honest) It also made a change they thought about the visitors and the cost. It was fantastic value we bought the 4 ride savers which was £4.50 for children aged between 4 and 14, and 2 adult 4 ride saver at £6.00 each. Or you could buy single tickets at £1.50 and £2.00. We have been to the Bluebell Railway before but that unfortunately has got so expensive and to be honest to see the smile on my grandson face and the excitement he had the whole day we spent here I think this is the place we will definitely be heading to again soon

My two sons and I visited the Teddy bear's picnic last Sunday and had a fabulous afternoon. There were lots of trains running and the staff had gone to a lot of trouble to make the day exciting for the kids. Everyone was really very helpful and friendly making the event great fun for all. A lovely railway to visit and I would thoroughly recommend to others.

We took the grandkids for a trip on the Santa's Special here and it was brilliant! What an absolute bargain at only £4 a ticket ( take a look at how much the Bluebell line costs!) and the little ones loved it. All the staff really put themselves out. Can't recommend this enough and we can't wait for some more trips in the summer!
