Head to the NYMR this summer to try the brand-new film trail. They’ve got literally tonnes of fun for you in the shape of their giant steam engines and hands-on family activities throughout the summer holidays, and best of all KIDS GO FREE*. Travel and walk in the footsteps of your favourite film and TV stars: just print off the map, or pick up a paper copy.

You can meet Curious Creatures, find out if you’re a Super Spy and become an Awesome Archaeologist. Why not make a wand and hat and travel to Goathland Station, which was transformed into Hogsmeade Station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? See Levisham Station where Tom Cruise ran along the tops of railway carriages for the 2023 Mission Impossible film and trek through the tunnel at Grosmont Station and visit where action hero Harrison Ford filmed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

There’s no need to book for any of theactivities – just drop in and take part. Activities take place on Mondays at Pickering Station and Fridays at Goathland Station. Drop-in sessions run from 10am to 2pm.
