VISITORS to York’s National Railway Museum this October half-term will be challenged to discover their hidden engineer.

The attraction’s Future Engineers event returns for a second year on Saturday and runs for two weeks, featuring a series of free, hands-on activities and shows for the whole family.

Visitors can find out more about how the railways work with fascinating insights into the world of engineering.

More than 30,000 people from across the region are expected to visit. Fun activities include Under Pressure, a new show that will transport visitors deep underground into the world of tunnels to discover amazing feats of engineering and the effects of pressure on the body.

Science presenter, author and rapper Jon Chase will be visiting York for the first time with his unique blend of science and hip-hop. Meanwhile, York performance poet Dave Jarman will be back in his home city with a new interactive show inspired by his love of the railways.

The National Railway Museum is open 10am to 6pm, admission and all Future Engineers activities are free. Some activities must be booked in advance.
