Designs on future engineers at museum

This October half term, York-based National Railway Museum's biggest event Future Engineers returns for a second year, promising a series of free, hands-on activities and shows for the whole family.

Visitors will be challenged to discover their hidden engineer and to find out more about how the railways work with fascinating insights into the world of engineering.

The programme of live shows, demonstrations and events will run for two weeks during October half term (October 21 – November 5) and more than 30,000 people from York and across the region are expected to visit.
