Bluey to visit Bodmin Railway this weekend

Children in Bodmin have the chance to meet Bluey, the beloved Australian Heeler from the children's hit show, at Bodmin Railway this weekend, as part of her tour around Cornwall throughout June.

Running on 21st and 22nd June, the event promises an unforgettable family day out. Visitors can hop aboard a historic steam train and travel through the beautiful Cornish countryside in carriages over a century old, while enjoying meet-and-greet opportunities with Bluey herself at intervals throughout the day.

“It’s a wonderful way to welcome younger generations to the magic of steam travel,” said a spokesperson for Bodmin Railway. “We’re especially excited to be hosting Bluey during this year’s Railway200 celebrations, marking 200 years since the first passenger train journey.”

The station’s café will serve up classic Cornish fare, including award-winning pasties and cream teas, while little ones can play with the interactive train set in the exhibition coach.

Visitors will also have the chance to meet the real-life heroes behind the railway – the drivers, guards, and firemen who keep this living heritage alive.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly for this unique event, so families are encouraged to book early.
