PETE WATERMAN’S MAKING TRACKS

For the third consecutive year, Pete Waterman OBE and his Railnuts team are returning to Chester Cathedral with Making Tracks 3 – a brand-new 64ft long model railway, which opens on Wednesday 26 July and runs until Saturday 2 September 2024.

This year, the model railway will feature Milton Keynes railway station – a modern image model layout with some very special never before seen features and trains.

As before, Making Tracks offers Cathedral visitors the chance to drive the trains on the railway layout using dedicated control tablets.

I am really excited to bring this new, even better layout to Chester once again this year – after being set the challenge of building a station, I can honestly say it’s going to be something very special and we will be offering the chance to adults and children alike to drive the trains.

Making Tracks 3 will run from 10am to 5pm Mondays through Saturdays from Wednesday 26 July to Saturday 2 September 2024. Tickets are £3 per person, using the Cathedral’s summer entry charge, with free entry for children aged 5 and under.
