Our 30th Birthday!

Come and celebrate our 30th birthday with us!

On Saturday 1st August, it will be 30 years since Perrygrove opened. A lot has changed since then! We will be celebrating the day with our lead steam engine Spirit of Adventure. Soony will be in steam offering rides around the station.

There will be a slice of birthday cake for everyone too!

We strongly recommend booking in advance for this event – all of those that book in advance will be entered into a draw to win an engine adoption for the year – worth £25!

👉 Book Your Half Term Visit

Unlimited Train Rides — All Included

Hop aboard as many times as you like.

Ride through the woodland on our steam trains, enjoy the journey together and let curious little explorers chat to our friendly drivers. They’re always happy to answer questions about their engines — and you might even get the chance to snap a photo on the footplate.

It’s a proper railway adventure designed for families.

Indoor Family Fun — Whatever the Weather

Half term weather in the Forest of Dean can be unpredictable — but Perrygrove is ready for it. There’s plenty to enjoy indoors and under cover, making us one of the best family days out in Gloucestershire during February half term:

Hide and Seek Heaven – The Twilight Zone

Our indoor Twilight Zone is packed with imagination and adventure:

Secret passages
Connected playhouses
Tunnels and stairs to explore
A window into the café for easy supervision

Perfect for curious little explorers who love to discover and play.

Covered Play Area

Climb, slide and burn off energy in our covered play area — ideal for active family fun without worrying about showers.

Warren Adventure Tunnel Maze

Twists, turns and a tube slide to race back to the start.
A big hit with children who love adventure and exploring.

A Forest of Dean Family Day Out

Set in beautiful woodland in the heart of the Forest of Dean, Perrygrove Railway Adventure is one of the most popular February half term activities in Gloucestershire.
