Kent & East Sussex Railway launches new ‘Bricks on the Move’ family experience

The Kent & East Sussex Railway (K&ESR) has unveiled an exciting new family experience, “Bricks on the Move,” designed to engage young minds and inspire creativity in a fun and interactive way. This initiative invites families to explore their building skills within one of the railway's carriages, filled with thousands of LEGO and DUPLO bricks.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Tenterden, known for its charming high street and community spirit, the railway offers a unique opportunity for family bonding through imaginative play. The building sessions will take place on selected dates throughout August, with special sessions including 18 August among others. Families are encouraged to participate, allowing children to unleash their creativity while enjoying the nostalgic experience of a steam train journey.

The activity is complimentary for passengers holding a valid train ticket, making it an appealing option for families looking to combine a day out with a creative challenge. Due to the popularity of this initiative, it is advisable for families to reserve tables in advance, as spaces are limited and demand is expected to be high.

The introduction of “Bricks on the Move” aligns with the railway's ongoing commitment to providing enriching experiences for visitors of all ages. It not only supports family engagement but also highlights the importance of play in childhood development. While parents can relax and enjoy the scenic views of the Kent and East Sussex countryside, children can immerse themselves in the world of building, creating everything from simple structures to complex designs.

Tenterden locals and visitors alike will find this initiative a wonderful addition to the vibrant offerings in the area. The railway, a cherished part of the community, continues to enhance its services and attractions, making it a focal point for family outings. As families gather to build and play, the K&ESR reinforces its role as a key player in Tenterden's cultural and recreational landscape.

For those interested in participating, further details about the available dates and reservation process can be found on the railway’s website. This family-friendly activity promises to be a delightful way to spend quality time together while exploring the rich heritage of the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
