What it’s like

Volunteer miniature railway rides in Abbey Park - £1.50, selected Sundays and Bank Holidays only.

Hop on a volunteer-run miniature railway in the heart of Abbey Park. Rides are £1.50 a person, under-4s free, cash or card - then let the kids burn energy on the wider park play areas.

Opening is limited: Leicester Society of Model Engineers aims for two Sunday afternoons a month plus Bank Holiday Monday afternoons from 29 March 2026. Check their calendar and Facebook before you travel - weather and volunteer availability decide the day.

Honest trade-offs: not a daily attraction, and park parking is pay-and-display nearby rather than on the trackside. What3words toast.dice.neon points you to the line off St Margaret's Way, LE1 3EA.
