Waggonways: Exhibition & Family Activity Day

Full description

Come along to explore the Coxlodge waggonway; see our exhibition; take part in creating waggonway zines full of drawings, maps, poems and pictures. We will provide all the pens, paper, maps and glue you need.

Waggonways, our early railways, once transported coal across the north east and now provide amazing paths for walking, cycling and wheeling. Come along and discover their rich, varied and sometimes forgotten history.

Find out about the Coxlodge waggonway in Newcastle; explore children’s stories, adults’ memories and some secrets along the way.
