FOR NATIONAL STORYTELLING WEEK

To celebrate National Storytelling Week (30th January – 6th February) North Yorkshire Moors Railway has teamed up with a number of critically-acclaimed authors for a week of readings and activities.

Keep your eyes peeled as each day a new storytelling-themed post on NYMR’s social channels will reveal fun activities, including a railway-inspired short story writing session; an exclusive reading by Chris Vine from an excerpt of his charming series of children’s train books, Peter’s Railway; and videos from the likes of Yorkshire-born Andrew Martin, author of a series of railway-themed detective novels.

In addition, on Monday 1st February, North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s Piglet, who appears on the T.V. series about the railway, will be reading a bedtime story at 4pm.
