Get your own taxi driver for the day

Time to put your feet up, and let someone else take over the taxi service on a family day out on-board the Severn Valley Railway. This 16-mile long heritage railway will take you through the stunning Shropshire countryside on fabulous historic trains. For the kids, take part in one of SVR’s many special events including the Ghost Trains in October. You’ll pass through haunted stations, and the kids will be treated to a Halloween goodie bag for their bravery!

Let the kids run wild at Hoo Farm

Family day out at hoo zoo

Explore 32 acres of farmland home to Shropshire’s big cats! Take a walk with ring-tailed Lemurs, stop by the Servals and get up close and personal with the meerkats! For a wild day out, spend the day as a zoo keeper and meet a huge variety of animals. You’ll meet them, feed them and get to know all about them!

Skip the tent in the back garden

Family day out glamping

Whether the kids want to camp in the back garden on their own, or they want you to squeeze in with them, it’s not the most exciting adventure for you. So why not book yourself an overnight glamping experience? Choose from yurts, cabins and pods which the kids will love! Don’t worry about the cooler weather, nearly all come with a log burner to keep you cosy.

"🏰✨ Dive into the heart of Shrewsbury's Castle Quarter – the epicenter of history and grandeur! 🏰 Home to four of the town's largest historic treasures – Shrewsbury Castle, Library, Prison, and Train Station. 

Did you know Shrewsbury Castle's foundations were laid in 1083 by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery? 
Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest.

From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story. Now, it stands majestically, housing the Shropshire Regimental Museum. 👑🏰 Ready to step into the pages of history?
