Visit landmarks and historical sites, galleries and museums
Explore the golden age of the Great Western Railway as you explore our 24 acre living museum.
Take unlimited train rides, stroll through our 1932 engine shed which houses our collection of engines, our carriage shed with an extensive collection of beautifully restored carriages and wagons, and a one-of-a-kind steam railmotor.
If that wasn’t enough, immerse yourself in our museum of artefacts and GWR’s very own road rail vehicle display.
With a café and gift shop on-site, there’s no rush – relax as you savour the sights, sounds and smells of steam.

Welcoming Wallace and Gromit for the first time at Didcot Railway Centre
Taking place on 15 February, Wallace and Gromit are joining the team and making appearances throughout the day.
Have your picture taken with them next to some spectacular icons of steam!
And if that wasn’t enough to fill your day, there will also be the option to join a fabulous model making workshop (extra charge payable), so take the chance to make your favourite character. Limited spaces are available, so book now so you don’t miss out.

How to get to Didcot Railway Centre
Great Western Railway trains serve Didcot Parkway with direct services from London Paddington, Reading and Thames Valley, Oxford, the Midlands, Swindon, Bath, Bristol and South Wales.
The entrance to the Railway Centre is still through the ticket hall of Didcot Parkway mainline station.
Please advise the GWR ticket barrier staff at the mainline station that you are visiting Didcot Railway Centre, and they will open the barriers to allow you access (you may need to show your Railway Centre tickets when you exit the main station after your visit).
