But the journey doesn’t stop with the trains! Our Writer-in-Residence, Dan Thompson, will be on board running a family-friendly writing activity full of fun for all ages!

Dan will help you find a fresh perspective on Sittingbourne’s Steam Railway, prompting you to look differently all the way from Sittingbourne Viaduct along the line to Kemsley Down. Lost paper mills, hidden river creeks, mysterious pipes, and steam trains full of character – what story will you tell?
